About the artist
Nick Hoar is an up-and-coming young British artist working in soft-pastel, watercolour and inks. Entirely self-taught, he aims to capture the true character of the subject in a way that is free and full of life. His greatest artistic inspirations are Ken Paine and his father, John Hoar, though his style ultimately owes much to a varied, rich and particularly unorthodox upbringing as the sixth of seven sons.
