Nicholas Bodde paints on aluminium plates by successive coats of painting that he applies with different utensils to finally obtain a result that imprints itself the retina of the eye. The game of colourful stripes, more or less large, sometimes with the feeling of the brush, sometimes flat, reflects the light differently on each lap. The brightness of his palette, a wilful choice, accentuates the vitality that emanates from this painting. His works hesitates between the vibrating and nearly irritating colours and the calm of a monastic construction.

Born in 1962 in New-York, USA, lives and works in Germany
