Nick Drake
Nick Drake, The Promise, 2019, Oil on linen, 61 x 91cm.
Nick Drake explores diverse themes and reflections from his life, amalgamated under a desire to make sense of this fast-paced world. Drake’s works speak of escape – from a structured life, from dull routines, and into a world of creativity and imagination.
