Nick Smith (born 1980) is a Scottish artist known for pixelated collages constructed from colour swatches annotated with words. He reworks familiar paintings and images from popular culture, pairing their colours with text drawn from literature and everyday language. Seen from a distance, the chips resolve into recognisable subjects; viewed closely, their words introduce another layer of meaning. His collages and prints explore how colour, language and memory shape the way we read an image.
