Nicholas Pound - Aotearoa Art Fair 2026

Nicholas Pound lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. He holds first-class honours in Fine Art from the Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, and a Master of Fine Arts from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design (2024). Nicholas works primarily in oil painting. A student of contemporary poetry, his work explores rule-based systems and diaristic processes; his paintings register thought, response and gesture as reply. Attentive to the languages and capacities of paint, often project-driven Pound's work has a collectable seriality.

Recent solo exhibitions include Floating Vote at Railway Street Gallery + Studios, Auckland (2025). His work has also been shown in artist-run and independent spaces, including Fuzzy Vibes (2015), Playstation (2017), Sanc (2020), and Satchiandsatchiandsatchi (2023). Nicholas is the resident artist site manager at Karekare House. His work is held in the Arts House Trust and private collections.
