Nicholas McLeod: Badlands

EB&Flow present an exhibition of new work from Threadneedle Prize 2011 Visitor’s Choice Winner, Nicholas McLeod. McLeod’s meticulously painted sinister landscapes of abandoned places, wastelands and crime scenes employ a sense of power and energy. In depicting abandoned clapboard houses, disused water parks and remote farms, a general atmosphere of darkness and unease is apparent although not prescribed. McLeod’s paintings often create a mood of isolation and all of his works are noticeably absent of human form and habitation.
