PAINTER - Tāmaki Makaurau

VIEW WORKS

Nicholas is interested in the margins of art, hovering between earnestness and error. As 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, Nicholas's work has a collectable seriality. There is an impermanence and questioning quality to his work as he follows the rules around materiality and process, mixed with time-based mood descriptions. His work is part painting, part sculpture, part installation. A hybrid offering.

Nicholas Pound graduated from Elam in 2015 with a first-class honours degree and completed his MFA at Whitecliffe in 2023. In 2018, he was the Karekare Artist in Residence. Nicholas's work is held in the Art House Trust and private collections.

He has exhibited primarily in artist-run spaces.
