Nicholas Vaughan
Artist
I am a visual artist with a varied practice from sculpture, mixed media, drawing, installations, often developing fictional texts to illustrate my artwork.
I received my degree in Sculpture from Wolverhampton University (2001), then moved to London where I completed an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design (2002).
My work has been shown in shows throughout Europe, including at The Corner House Gallery in Manchester and Imperial College in London as well as at Gliwice Museum in Poland.
I am currently based at the Art House in Wakefield.
Commissions, open calls, and opportunities for collaboration with arts organizations, exhibitions in artist run spaces as well as larger galleries.
I’m a visual artist but spend a lot of time writing and thinking through stories. Its great because it allows you to distance yourself from the work, and get a whole new angle on it.
Getting a drawing into the collection of the Gliwice Musuem.
Getting my work into the John Moores Painting Prize 2021.
Getting the Long Division commission which was on a public wall on the Art House.
Collaboration with a perfoming arts organization. To make a script from one of my stories, then take it into puppet or live theatre.
