Nicky Stephens designer and maker
Description
While studying painting for a Fine Art Degree, Nicky Stephens had a piece of sculpture accepted for the Young Contemporaries Exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. “As long as I can remember, I’ve always been happiest when constructing things. More recently, I’ve come to love drawing from life. It’s a source of inspiration for m y work.”
He was born in London, at the start of the Post-war blossoming of British Contemporary Design. “I can just remember being carried around the Festival of Britain and I’ve always loved the Royal Festival Hall which was built for the occasion. It’s so light and airy. Functional, but welcoming.
Long stays with his Anglo-Armenian grandparents in the Middle East and later visits to North Africa an d the Caribbean were also very influential. This and the challenge of working with a wide variety of clients has resulted in an original, eclectic, but recognisable personal style. “I think of styles as simply different visual languages to be used as we want. What you say, and if it’s under stood and useful, is more important than whether it’s said in a currently fashionable language or not.”
