Nick Offer, born in 1975, is a contemporary British painter who creates figurative paintings based loosely on collages. These collages are derived from a wide range of source material found, for the most part, on the internet. He earned his BA in painting at Edinburgh College of Art and his MFA from Winchester School of Art.

Approach Offer's preparatory collages often coalesce around figures thrust into a new environment. He keeps revising the collage until a surprising reason emerges for the figures' presence there. The process is also a search for a combination of images which resonate in an unexpected way. The search is guided by formal concerns (composition is important) and thematic ones (figures engaged in ambiguous behaviour for example).

Landscapes Offer's approach to landscape is not far removed from his other paintings. He creates collages from numerous photos taken at source (often the Scottish Highlands) and uses these along with oil sketches to make a painting. He will often allow the paint replica designer clothing
