Nicol is a Scottish artist who has enjoyed a varied career. He graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1993, and worked as a bouncer, a chef, a stonemason and a blacksmith before returning to art in 1999 to set up Perfect Circle, a commercial fine art company. Perfect Circle ran for 15 years, alongside Maryhill Art School which he set up with two other tutors. At the same time he set up and ran Strange Frames, a bespoke framing company. He spent 15 years collaborating with his hero, the Scottish artist and writer Alasdair Gray on his visual work and public projects. He has also worked for Oscar winning film designers, made huge mosaics, and acted as the arts consultant for infrastructure projects. He now lives in the countryside working from a studio that he built during lockdown, and painting the Scottish landscape among other passions.
