Nick Potter Art

Email: npotter@csufresno.edu

Nick was born and raised in London, England. Much of the artwork he produced there was fuelled by the banality of everyday spaces, particularly the elevators, lobbies and corridors of tower blocks and public spaces.

After completing graduate studies at the Birmingham Art Institute, Nick moved to the U.S in 1999 where he taught at Florida State University for two years before moving to California.

His current works reflect on modernist architectural spaces, images of power, class and materialism that represent fears about existence and isolation. His seductive depictions of such artificial utopias create tension and anxiety that remind us of the foreboding doubt that hovers only slightly below the surface of our desires.

Nick is currently a tenured Associate Professor at California State University, Fresno, and will be on sabbatical from December 2009 to August 2010.
