About
Will Nolan is an Australian artist known for his range of contemporary photographic works. Born in Tarntanya/Adelaide in 1979, the artist is concerned with exploring the limits of photography as a medium.
His oeuvre is characterised by a keen interest in pushing the boundaries of traditional photographic genres, particularly still life and portraiture. Through these classical forms, Nolan attempts to challenge and redefine the very essence of photography, transcending its conventional constraints. He employs techniques such as collage and installation, techniques typically associated with other artistic disciplines, to reimagine the possibilities of photography in a modern context. By blending elements of different mediums, Nolan creates engaging visual experiences that compel viewers to reconsider their relationship with images in an era saturated with visual stimuli.
Nolan has been short-listed in the Bowness Photography Prize, Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award and Olive Cotton Photographic Prize. His artworks have been published in magazines, including Art Monthly in Australia, Esquire in Russia and Kunstbeeld in the Netherlands.
Will Nolan currently lives and works in the Adelaide Hills, Australia.
