Nicholas Lucius
Between Two Worlds by Adrienne H . Lee
Fantasy Free Me , mixed media on canvas print
Nicholas Lucius is art . When “ living halfway between reality and fantasy ” is your modus operandi , creativity is a way of life and art is an absolute . Can a person ever fi nd that elusive balance between reality and fantasy ? Nicholas Lucius has not only found balance , but has a dual residence . Through his artwork , Lucius suggests that fi nding balance requires one to always have a foot in each of those worlds . Straddling the chasm between reality and fantasy might be diffi cult and uncomfortable , but having to choose between the two would mean death . At the very least , it would result in banality , which , for artists and creatives , is simply death ’ s synonym .
