Kitchen Sink, 2023

Painting for me is often a case of just problem-solving. I know the content I want to paint, but just need to solve the colour and composition. The idea for this painting started from a photo taken in a friends kitchen. A kitchen that holds many beautiful things, but I was drawn to the simplicity of the taps on this particular morning.

Nick Coulson (b. 1973, Melbourne) is a Brisbane based artist. Simple captures from his life, provide the content for his work – everyday objects used and environments seen. Painting from both observation and photos.
