March – April 2018

Nicolas Fleming is an artist who works and lives in Toronto, Canada who has received his BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) and his MA in Visual Arts from the University of Quebec in Montreal Gallery (Montreal, Canada).

Nicolas has held exhibitions all throughout Canada, participated in quite a bit of art residences. During his career he has been to conferences and public presentations, given grants for research and has had his fair share of media coverage.

Nicolas’s work relies on construction materials and building techniques developed in daily work, adapting construction site aesthetics to art-dedicated spaces. By diverting the primary functions of commercial building materials, especially drywall and plaster, he ennobles these materials and techniques through the fine arts of sculpture and painting. He re-purposes construction materials to create compelling aesthetic combinations for the viewer to discover.
