Jonathon Nichols settles in Liverpool

We've just heard from Jonathon Nichols who has settled in Liverpool as the current Australian resident artist working from the Static Studios in Roscoe Lane for the Liverpool Biennial. You may recall we blogged about Jonathon's Australia Council Grant here?

Nichols was a founding member of Melbourne artist-run galleries Stripp and Lovers, and continues to curate artist projects and write about the work of other artists. His painting practice is an ongoing investigation into the possibilities of painting - conveying a moment in time and even paying homage to the experiments of other painters. Keep up with Jonathon's residency news here or head over to his great blog.

For enquiries about Jonathon's works, please email the gallery: info@kwgallery.com.
