ARTIST STATEMENT
"During the making of this series, domestic objects, instruction-manual structures, and late-night sci-fi films collide with my ongoing investigation of hard-edged compositions, deconstructed typography, and the visual residue of white-noise interference. The work operates between control and collapse, where rigid systems unfold, type melts, and familiar forms are pushed into states of distortion and ambiguity."
BIO
Nikolaus Dolman is an Australian artist based in Geelong, Victoria. Born in 1987, he holds a Bachelor of Fine Art specialising in Printmaking from Southern Cross University, Lismore NSW and a Master’s in Art Administration from the University of New South Wales Art & Design, Sydney.
His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, sculpture, and collage, with a focus on the transient nature of consumer culture, exploring themes of advertising, representation, repetition and production. Through voyeuristic elements like windows and doors, Dolman constructs dystopian formalism, defined by bold colour contrasts, melting forms, and tactile intensity.
Dolman has presented solo exhibitions including Monolithic Hairwig / Tinfoil Helmet (2021) at Fivewalls, Melbourne; Cardboard Paintings (2019) at Stacks Projects during the Sydney Contemporary Art Fair; and 1 Hour Tooth Whitening (2018) at DeliGrocery Project in New York City. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions such as Escapade and Best Life (2022-2023) at Saint Cloche, Sydney; Snow Globe (2020) at LON Gallery, Melbourne; and Compound (2018) at Chalk Horse, Sydney.
He has been a finalist in awards including the Bayside Art Prize (2022) and The 55th Fisher’s Ghost Award (2017) and completed residencies in New York. His work is included in the Contemporary Collage Museum in Viborg, Denmark, as well as in private collections throughout Europe and America.
