Bio
Nicholas Johnson’s professional practice questions ideas of capitalism, materialism and consumerism within contemporary western society. These questions and ideas which surround his practice have arisen through the his lived history and interacting with aspects of consumerist culture, such as those within corporate work culture andcontemporary consumerism. Johnson has previously created work at galleries like Gallery 1855, ACE Open and Praxis Artspace.
Within each of these exhibitions he has continually expanded his creative practice to include new materials and techniques such as adding acrylic paint to sculptural work or creating a preformative aspect to his sculptural forms. This continual addition to his practice allows for larger material and symbolic vocabularies in which he can use to describe these monolithic ideas which his practice has begun to shape around.
