RUTH A NICOL – ‘LOST at THE LOT’, OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2009 IN THE BISTRO

‘In my work I document significant personal journeys that I have repeatedly made over time. The resulting landscapes can therefore be of an urban industrial, or, agricultural nature dependent on where and why I travel.

Often the source material for my paintings is captured by camera through a moving car. I find it interesting that, for many, a car allows us access to remote areas. Often, however, it is the car that acts as a physical barrier to the actual views we seek out. I hope to translate into my paintings these underlying but often ignored tensions that exist today.

Repetition is important in my work; as is the use of lines and dots. I use these tools to describe interconnections and dependencies. I also use them structurally, encouraging the viewer’s eye to roam around the landscapes.’

The LOT bistro is a great place to enjoy anything from that first caffeine fix of
the day to an intimate evening meal in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

"The Lot is a colourful, unassuming cafe-cum-restaurant with a lot of charm.
People come at all hours of the day, drinking coffee, studying or enjoying
some wholesome not-for-profit fare. This place has a community feel that's rarely achieved this close to the city centre."
