Andrew Nicholls is love sick. His work certainly seems that way; examining the sentimental, the iconography of women, homosexuals and other marginalised groups within society, and “the relationship between aesthetics and desire”.
Most of these works are small scale, using the wonderfully simple medium of archival ink on paper. A few, however, are quite the opposite – mammoth pieces echoing the frescoes of old Europe.
Nicholls is represented by Sydney’s Boutwell Draper Gallery.
