HIS FINELY CRAFTED volume will represent,
with elegance and finesse, the life’s work of the
sculptor, painter and video artist Michael Nicholson.
For much of his career Michael has eschewed the
conventional artist trajectory of dealer-brandingannual exhibition-critical recognition, pursuing
instead a more individual path of self-imposed
rigour as he worked out his relationship with the
demands of pictorial and sculptural space.
He has, nevertheless, left a footprint of major works
in the UK (his birthplace), Australia, Japan and
New Zealand. His years of living and working
in Sydney have provided sculptures for public
spaces and a record of participation in the Sydney
Biennale and other venues.
Since moving to Wellington, New Zealand,
Michael has produced large abstract paintings on
canvas and has consolidated his earlier video work,
culminating in the Visual Music Project Stages 1, 2, 3.
Michael’s work offers profound insights into the
artistic landscape of the twentieth century.
