Nick Potter, Associate Professor
Drawing, Painting Born London England 1971 BFA Cheltenham School of Art MFA Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (UCE) Since moving to the U.S.A. I have reconsidered my long-standing investigation into issues of identity and cultural difference through the depiction of architectural spaces and urban environments. Previously these were centered on the banality and terror of everyday spaces, particularly the elevators, lobbies and corridors of the tower block (public housing). Being of African and European parentage in London heightened my awareness of dislocated cultures situated in such foreboding and alien environments. My experiences in Tallahassee (where I taught at Florida State) and now Fresno, have caused a shift in approach to these themes; I have turned towards popular culture and escapism as fuel for work, as opposed to pure experiences. Current paintings depict spatial predicaments that are characteristic of the 'successful' and mainly 'unattainable' urban living characterized in glossy lifestyle magazine advertising. These fantasies of high culture, (sometimes based on my own photographs, sometimes directly from magazines) are manipulated digitally, then painted. They are real but remain beguiling. They represent my personal desires, fears and existence. The Stanley Kubrick set that I wish to live in.
