Featuring Artists and Writers of Extreme Vision.
The Archives: Nigel Freeman, Biograph.
|
Nigel Freeman is a painter and printmaker living in Brooklyn. Since he received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in 1992, he worked as an artist in Mexico, London, and most recently Paris. An artist-in-residence in the Fondation des Etats-Unis for two years, he studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and opened an alternative exhibition space in the Bastille. His travels have formed a fascination with representations of the exotic, and the genre of historical painting. His latest series of work recreates scenes of natural conflagrations and human disasters, mythic events -- the great flood, the day of the locusts -- on large oil canvases.
