Nicholas Borden’s Stoke Newington Paintings
Our crowdfund remains open until 10th September
CLICK HERE TO HELP ME STAGE DAVID HOFFMAN’S EXHIBITION IN OCTOBER
Stoke Newington Old Church
I am delighted to announce a new exhibition by favourite painter Nicholas Borden and you are all invited to the opening at Everyday Sunshine Gallery, 49 Barbauld Rd, Stoke Newington, N16 0RT next Thursday 12th September from 6:30pm.
Through the past year, painter Nicholas set up his easel on the streets of Stoke Newington to produce a series of vibrant urban landscapes, transforming familiar scenes with his bold palette and dynamic compositions.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, for the past decade Nicholas has been painting outdoors in the East End, manifesting the spontaneous life of the streets with consummate painterly ease, delighting in the quirky geometry and the curious divergent perspectives of the urban grain.
The spontaneous quality of Nicholas’ elegant pictures belies their sophisticated technique yet – more significantly – they display a joy in the medium which grants them a visceral, irresistibly sensuous appeal as paintings.

I really like his work: the buildings, people and trees and such colourfulness.

These are masterful paintings; totally instinctive and from the heart.
