In his drawings and paintings, Nick DEVEREUX resorts to an ancient technique, used for example by Diego VÉLASQUEZ in "Las Meninas", which doesn't aim at 'photorealism' but focuses on information perceived by the human eye, ie essentially volumes and light, hence offering an original answer to the conceptual question of representation. Nick DEVEREUX uses this technique not to represent human beings nor objects, but small sculptures he makes from scraps of fabric and pieces of glass; non-figurative, these sculptures, transfigured by his technique, get animated with an unsuspected life. Conveying a strong visual impact, Nick DEVEREUX's drawings stand on the edge between figuration and abstraction.
