Nick Alm

"I don't paint the world the way it is, I paint it the way I want it to be. Nature is only the artist’s raw material." – Nick AlmIn this new publication we get to experience the world through Alm’s dreamlike bacchanals, festive drinking scenes, dissolving portraits of young and beautiful people, still life and depictions of city and nature that move between realism and abstraction in a dynamic and beautiful interplay. This is the second publication about Nick Alm’s art. The book is richly illustrated with a selection of the artist’s works between 2010–2018, and contains an interview with Nick Alm by the art writer Susanne W. Lamm.
