F R I E N D S is a collection of Nikki Stevens’ latest works which perfectly combine her love of mathematical information and animals. Nikki’s watercolour paintings, whilst strikingly beautiful, are also designed to challenge and engage the viewer. “This collection sees a number of powerful animals that have been taken out of their natural habitat, are then fixed on a page and supported by a ‘map’ of geometric, algebraic, mathematical and other scientific language and information which are both visual and literal puns,” explains Nikki. “I choose animals according to the attributes man has ascribed to them in the hope that they may bring those qualities into my life, for example a horse for independence, a tiger for sensuality and a cheetah for resolute action.”
