Tag: Fill

Nips has had a strong winter and managed to get out often, when others have preferred the warmth and comfort of their homes. This is one of a string of winter pieces and continues with her consistency and quality.

The bronze/brown letter fills are beautifully accompanied by a turquoise midline  and dots that run through all of her letters. It is interesting that she left out any decoration in the tittle (dot of the i), making it a point of interest. Set on a purple background, the piece is finished with a black drop shadow some beaded dots and small starbursts. Great work from Nips.

An explosive and colourful piece by Nips on the long wall at Greenbank was a very welcome sight, especially as the turnover at this spot seems to have slowed down a litle, so finding anything new there is always rewarding.

Once again it is the fills that delight and Nips seems to specialise in beautiful designs and colour palettes for her letters. As ever, the letter form tends to remain reasonably regular from piece to piece, although the dot over the ‘i’ allows scope for variation, and here she has placed a simple heart icon in the pink circle. I am not 100% convinced by the green and blue border, the green in particular gets a little bit overwhelmed by the purple fills. Nice stuff from Nips.
