Nicola Green LTD.

What Nicola Green LTD. does

Nicola Green LTD. is a London-based artist studio operating as a sole proprietorship under founder Nicola Green, established in 2007 around the documentation of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. The studio operates as a visual social-history practice, producing mixed-media artworks, limited edition silkscreen prints, commissioned pieces for film and media, public art installations, and academic publications. Major works include the seven-print 'In Seven Days...' series (held in permanent collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Library of Congress, the Obama Presidential Center, and others), 'The Princess' portrait commissioned for the 2022 Lightbox/Altitude Films documentary, the Sunburst Series, 'The World in a Water Lily, Amazonica' globe sculpture for The World Reimagined, and the 'Encounters' interfaith dialogue series and accompanying Brepols publication.

The studio's underlying craft combines silkscreen printing, oil painting, hand-painted patterns, digital re-transformation, 24ct gold leaf application, diamond dust, and painted metal and glass sculptural elements on archival Somerset Satin and Coventry Rag papers. Pricing for original mixed-media works ranges from £960 to £18,000, with limited edition prints sold in numbered editions of 15 or 25 at £900–£1,800 each. Distribution is direct-to-collector via an integrated Online Viewing Room on the company website, supplemented by gallery exhibitions (notably Zuleika Gallery in Oxford), art fair participation, and direct commissions from film producers, government bodies, and cultural institutions.

The customer base spans high-net-worth individual collectors (primary segment), cultural institutions (museums in the UK and US), film and documentary producers, and government/educational organisations commissioning public art. Secondary activity includes the Diaspora Pavilion — co-founded with David Lammy and David A. Bailey for the 2017 Venice Biennale — which delivered a 22-month mentoring programme for 12 emerging artists from culturally diverse backgrounds, and The World Reimagined national education project involving over 100 artists. The practice has no external funding, no parent company, and operates at modest scale with 7 employees.

Others
