NIC GROBLER (1979) born in Pretoria, South Africa. Currently living in Woodstock, Cape Town, South Africa.
Nic is an animator, graphic designer and visual artist. Since 2010 his work often includes photography and filmmaking.
Being a keen commuter and touring cyclist Nic has developed a love for every day road side encounters and practices a form of hyper observation, often finding and composing the usually overlooked objects and moments.
Bicycle Portraits, Everyday South Africans and their bicycles (2012) photographed with Stan Engelbrecht is his first photographic book. The project has lead to various bicycle related projects including an exhibition South African Bicycle Builders that celebrated bicycle building heritage in South Africa. He is currently also working on Under the Sun, a series of portrait inspired short films for the local Peoples Weather channel.
Nic has facilitated student design projects and at the University of Pretoria and Stellenbosch University and is also a portfolio moderator at the Cape Town Creative Academy.
