Nicholson used still-life to search for his own visual language. By turning to the simple jugs and mugs in his studio, he could interpret them over and over again, using their forms and patterns to create works that moved between straightforward representation and abstraction. He embraced both the spirit of the avant-garde (as embodied by Cézanne, Picasso and the cubist painters), and the naïve expressionism of Christopher Wood and Alfred Wallis.
