Nick Breedon’s interdisciplinary practice investigates the way humans create meaning and find significance in their lives in defiance of an absurd and infinite universe.
Utilising and acknowledging traditional methods of creation such as carving and painting, as well as video and new media, Nick's current work investigates paradox and existential idealism, bastardising highly symbolic tropes, idyllic objects found in everyday life, as well as motifs from popular culture, cinema, still life and historical illustration.
Nick's work regularly uses two opposing yet co-existing forces such as tragedy and humour, beauty and ugliness, luxury and poverty to examine the modern contradiction between living an important life with a cohesive, meaningful narrative in a chaotic, often cruel, and unfathomably large universe.
