Nick Cave – Patrick Laird

Description

Visual art depictions of musical performance and performers is perhaps my favorite subject matter to draw or paint. Ultimately my goal is to depict the character and personality of a performer and their music or the power and intensity of their performance while also exhibiting a personal style of my own. Some works are executed completely realistically through various pen and ink, ink wash and painting techniques and others convey a more “caricatured” style that intends to capture a performer’s unique personality and visual style.
