Nic Mac - 'Art in the Age of Now' Exhibition #ArtThursdays
Artistry is more than just a mundane concept turned into a visual ever so pleasing to the human eye. The colours, techniques, and style - Everything that makes an art piece for what it is can set forth an awe-inspiring purpose: Unravelling a deeper meaning for curious minds to wander, the moment the artist connects with their audience, which every creative strives to achieve.
It was in Stööki’s good fortune to meet an exemplary artist that has this kind of drive, by the name of Nic Mac. A London-based artist who specialises in digital illustration and creating murals.
Written by Tasnim H.
Nic Mac has mastered storytelling through her art, highlighting topics under technology, the environment, and her most significant, mental health. The illustrator uses her talent to abandon the trend of shying away from discussing severe issues so that individuals can get a sense of relatability and be seen and understood based on her work.
Nic Mac got candid with Stööki on her artistic inclination from the hustle and bustle of the city through her travels and explorations with, of course, her handy sketchbook. Unfortunately, the global pandemic set its obstacles in reaching her ultimate source of inspiration, but this didn’t prevent her productivity. Her plans for the future revolve around her ambition to negate the mental health stigma through writing and illustrating her own medium - a comic book and novel - based on the reality of dealing with mental health issues.
