What I do at the Weekend? by Nick Beedles
Title: What I do at the Weekend?
Artist: Nick Beedles
Size: 600mm x 800mm
What I Do at the Weekend? is a riot of colour and character. It fuses street-style spontaneity with comic-book clarity, offering a humorous yet introspective glimpse into an imagined weekend of breakdancing and BMX rides. The expressive face, graphic symbolism, and graffiti-inspired elements, invites the viewer to step inside a world that is at once chaotic and childlike, rebellious and nostalgic. The character’s oversized Beastie Boys chain and skull-emblazoned hat add swagger, while the hand-painted text anchors the piece with storytelling charm. A perfect centrepiece for contemporary collectors who value energy, individuality, and a hint of irreverence. This painting doesn’t just hang – it talks.
Artist profile
Nick Beedles — Artist Bio Nick Beedles is a contemporary visual artist whose explosive, graffiti-infused canvases explore the tension between chaos and clarity, life and decay. Working primarily with mixed media on canvas, Beedles conjures visceral portraits of human fragility through recurring motifs of skulls, street symbology, and layered text. His work is an electrifying collision of neo-expressionism, street art, and punk ethos—echoing the influence of Basquiat and the raw immediacy of urban culture. A self-taught artist based in the UK, Beedles began his creative journey in video games and graphic design before transitioning to painting as a way to channel personal catharsis and cultural critique. His work is characterized by vibrant colour clashes, aggressive brushwork, and scrawled messages—often cryptic, always charged. In pieces like It’s Go Time, and The Sky Grew Quiet, Beedles confronts themes of mortality, urgency, and inner conflict with a fearless aesthetic that’s both confrontational and deeply human. Each painting serves as a visual diary—part protest, part poem—reflecting Beedles’ desire to make sense of a fractured world through raw, unfiltered creation. His pieces don't ask for permission; they demand attention. Nick Beedles’ work has been featured in group shows and private collections, and continues to attract collectors and curators drawn to his unapologetic style and authentic voice.
