In Nicolas Holiber’s art, painting and sculpture blur. As do abstraction and figuration. While his technique is ever-changing, process is the heart of his practice. He is keen to see how far he can push a material to find out what its limits are. With his paintings, Holiber starts by applying a thick acrylic mix onto canvas. Then he uses a range of tools to move the mix around. In his own words, "it's like drawing in 3-D." From these abstract surfaces figures organically emerge. Then, adding more layers of oil paint, Holiber constantly shifts the viewer's perceptions through colour and texture.
