This beautiful one of a kind painting is from Nick Potter.   It is 3x5 feet in dimension.  The "Golden Temple" sits peacefully with its vibrant colors reflecting in the water. 

Nick will attend our Best of the Best Event on April 27th and will be available to meet with the winner at the Event.   

Nick was born and raised in London, England. Much of the artwork he produced there was fueled by the banality of everyday spaces, particularly the elevators, lobbies and corridors of tower blocks and public spaces.  After completing graduate studies at the Birmingham Art Institute, Nick moved to the U.S in 1999, where he taught at Florida State University for two years before moving to California.

His current works reflect on modernist architectural spaces, images of power, class and materialism that represent fears about existence and isolation. His seductive depictions of artificial utopias, create tension and anxiety that remind us of the foreboding doubt that lingers only slightly below the surface of our desires.

Nick is currently a tenured Associate Professor at California State University, Fresno, and was on sabbatical from December 2009 to August 2010.
