Inspired by watching electronic duo Orbital at NX Live, Newcastle on their national tour in March 2023, Niel’s painting, Selfie, captures the spectacle and atmosphere of a energetic, crowded gig, where there are often as many phones in the air as waving arms.

Selfie was painted over a number of weekends in early 2025. “This was a larger painting than my last one,” Niel explains, “so progress was slower. But that’s also the point. I don’t want to rush my paintings. There’s a lot of joy to be found in slow art. This piece captures a very special night seeing Orbital with my two adult daughters. It was fantastic being able to share my love of Orbital with them – and to see them enjoying it as much as me!”
