Nick Grellier • drawing • collage • textile • assemblage • performance

I am a UK based visual artist using detritus found on roads and footpaths as source material, and papers, photographs and textiles from house clearances and family archives as substrates for my work. Employing simple methods and low value materials, the works speak to ideas about hierarchies in art and life and awkwardly funny commonplace scenarios. The simultaneous familiarity and strangeness of found objects and materials, the inherent information held within them and the push-pull relationship between humans and stuff examined in my works offer a deadpan reflection on behaviours and responses to the tragicomic state of being human.

Grellier also works collaboratively with Emily Lucas as (both laughing) and with film maker Anna Cady and curates exhibitions and installations.
