Nic Notion (American, b. 1983) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Highland Park, Michigan. He has been involved in Detroit’s Music and Art scenes for two decades. As an Artist and Curator, he has worked with many artists – locally and worldwide.
His methods include using putty knives and layers of paint to create distinct textures which expose the tension and contrast within his ever-changing environment. These details, containing themes of optimism, nature and God are expressed in his abstract paintings. He blends elements of Fine Art and Anthropology to shine light on the conjunction between beauty and decay. He is now studying Anthropology at Wayne State University.
Nic Notion has shown his work in Detroit, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and London UK.
My love for art is paired with my love for Mother Nature and her dynamic power. I aim to capture some of that power in my art; An ongoing dance between nature and man, particularly man-made structures.
My aim is not to paint something out of a disaster movie, but to create dynamic and majestic imagery deeply rooted in city life. My task is to excite the viewer with new methods and processes that are unorthodox and inspiring.” – Nic Notion
