Biography for Nick Lumb RCA

His work has been shown in a number of exhibitions including 'Even in the Darkest Hour There Will be Light' at the Serpentine Gallery, London and 'Selected Works from the Murderme Collection' at Newport st Gallery, London. He has artwork in the Saatchi collection and the Murderme collection.

His paintings are more spontaneous, using the same subject matter, trapping energy using brush strokes and a build-up of paint.
