Nicholas Quantock-Holmes: Tresspass

TRESSPASS

Nicholas Quantock-Holmes

10 - 20 Dec 2024

Nic Quantock-Holmes is an artist who’s currently practising from his home studio in Brunswick, Naarm. His work reflects the environment in which he lives, drawing inspiration from derelict landscapes that are mismanaged, disused or lie between capital development. This language is drawn out through mediums concerning painting, sculpture and spatial design.

TRESSPASS is Nic’s debut gallery show and bids to openly converse between NoVacancy and the in-between spaces that inform a life inside the city at the margin of privilege and decay.

TRESSPASS explores the boundary between virtue and acknowledgment deploying an inward facing stance on creating work on stolen land as a Pākehā male. This show is a coming-of-age story about being wrong and white.
