Nicholas Aplin is an artist residing in Melbourne Australia. He paints urban landscapes
MessageIn my work I explore the urban environment and the relationship between architecture and nature. The freedom of the natural world against the constraints of built world, and their effects on people. My paintings a devoid of people but not of human presence.
The painting also explores the idea of the "urban jungle." The apartment tower is a microcosm of the city, a place where people are constantly surrounded by others. The palm tree, on the other hand, represents a connection to the natural world, a reminder of the beauty and the peace that can be found outside of the city.
The painting "Palm and dark windows" is a meditation on the nature of freedom and the constraints of urban life. It is a reminder that even in the most urban of environments, there is always the possibility of escape.
