Nick Kennedy is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East
Kennedy’s practice focuses on drawing as a medium for the exploration of ideas around chance, order, play and serendipity. Strict systems or devices are frequently introduced to challenge his control over the process of making. The conflict between chance and influence, order and chaos, success and failure, rules and irregularity is central to all works.
