Nic Dempster

Nic Dempster developed his talent for painting at a young age. He first found inspiration in the rugged landscapes of his family farms and this love of his rural surrounding grew to encompass the sights he would later experience and captured in his travels throughout New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom and Europe. Nic drew inspiration from prominent New Zealand artists such as Colin McCahon, Rita Angus, Doris Lusk, Toss Woollaston, and Nigel Brown, shaping a distinctive style that is contemporary and iconic. His artworks, characterized by vibrant colors and bold black outlines, portray buildings, harbors, boats, cityscapes and rural landscapes.
