Nicola Page

NICOLA PAGE,‘Never be afraid to ask for love’, Acrylic on Perspex, 2011.

‘Never be afraid to ask for love’, continues Pages exploration into sustainable architecture and contemporary landscapes. The work is inspired by a recent trip to New York and reflects a personal experience of the city’s recent development ‘The High Line.’ The disregarded train line running above the city streets has been now donated to the local community in the form of an urban parkland and public space. The landscape has been elaborated on as a private physiological and emotive space of wild bushlands sitting among the city’s back drop of billboards and condemned housing estates.

Nicola Page completed a MVA at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2008 and has shown in solo and group exhibitions across Australia, Asia and Europe. She has been the finalist and recipient for several visual arts awards and residencies including Artist-in-residence at Level ARI Brisbane 2011 and a support stipend for residency at Can Serrat International Art Center Spain in 2011.


Until August 31.
