Nicholls_austral_medium

 


Andrew Nicholls’ practice is concerned with the sentimental

- a cultural sensibility historically aligned with the marginalised,

yet one that he feels forms an often-unacknowledged force

driving mainstream culture. His drawings comprise a mixture

of largely-appropriated imagery and text that he painstakingly

reproduces by hand in ink pen. these include elements

drawn from Victorian scrapbooks and children’s book illustrations,

postcards and souvenirs, 1960s teenybopper pop songs, china patterns

and Internet pornography. he states, “As a white Australian,

I am an introduced species in my own homeland,

making distinctions between ‘authentic’ and ‘artificial’

subjectivity irrelevant. yet this distinction continues to obsess

mainstream Australia. my ethical response to this incongruence

is to privilege the fake over the genuine and kitsch over good taste.”
