Nigel Emery is a Sussex painter from Brighton who works mostly in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, renowned for his Sculptural Spiral Shoal of Fish paitings. In the last few years he has received commissions from Lloyds of London, Chichester Dioscesan Housing Association, Geodis Wilson, and Lloyds Private Banking. Most of Emery's works hang in private collections around the World.
Emery is quoted as saying :- "Another theme I visit regularly is my spiral fish paintings, which I have been doing for about 15 years. A lot of people really relate to that watery world and the piece is very restful. Over the years, I've improved my technique with this particular painting. It gives off a pearlescent scene, so they are slightly sculptural as it does change as you walk around it. The idea hasn't changed much, but oddly I've never fallen out of love with the spiralling fish."
