Après avoir étudié l'art dans différentes écoles de Londres,
Nicholas ROMERIL s'est fortement impliqué sur la scène artistique de Londres et de Jersey où il vit actuellement.
Très attaché à son environnement naturel, celui de Jersey, Nicholas Romeril explore le monde marin de façon originale et ce , sur différents supports : papier chiffon, toile ou encore plaque d'ardoise.
¨Petits et grands formats vous surprendront tant la matière longuement travaillée fait corps avec le sujet.
Ses sculptures, parfois monumentales, s'inspirent également des profondeurs de la mer. Il utilise l'acier inoxydable, un matériau qui traduit la lumière et la légèreté d'un monde toujours en mouvement.
Autre sujet de prédilection: les vaches.
Autre technique...la gravure. Un clind'œil à cet animal emblématique de Jersey! Des portraits saisissants.

Born in Jersey, Channel Islands, in 1967. Lives and works in Jersey.
After completing his MA at Camberwell College of Art & Design in London, Nicholas ROMERIL has been strongly involved in the art scene in London, Jersey and more recently Switzerland.
The natural marine environment of his native Island, Jersey, is the inspiration for his work.
His sculptures, sometimes monumental, are also inspired by the depths of the sea. He uses stainless steel, a material that reflects light and lightness of a world always in motion.
Another favorite subject is the Jersey cows…stunning portraits of them !
