Literature
Rose Nolan is a Melbourne-based artist who works across a range of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography and printmaking. Her practice regularly oscillates between the discrete and the monumental and is informed by a strong interest in architecture, interior and graphic design combining formal concerns with the legacies of modernism.
Establishing her practice in the mid‑1980s, Nolan belongs to a generation of Australian artists who grappled with what being an artist meant in the wake of the end of the belief in the idea of an artistic avant‑garde.
Nolan typically employs a radically reduced palette of red and white, and simple utilitarian materials and methods, in an exploration of personal, playful and often self-effacing narratives.
Public collections include, NGA Canberra, NGV, Melbourne; AGNSW, Sydney; AGSA, Adelaide; MCA, Sydney; Heide MOMA, Melbourne and Monash University Museum of Art.
