Abstraction #4
Acrylic on Canvas
55x79in
United Kingdom
Nicholas Molloy, a painter trained in illustration and experienced across countries, works primarily in acrylics, meticulously building and sanding back layers to create rich, textured surfaces. His style ranges from “abstract architectural” pieces highlighting geometric interplay and industrial motifs, to expressive landscapes of the Scottish coast and playful, naive botanicals. Using a reductive technique that reveals ghostly, weathered traces beneath his compositions, he seeks to evoke balance, discovery, and dynamic visual intrigue—inviting viewers to find new details and feel a harmonious tension between structure and organic unpredictability.
