Rose Nolan (born 1959) is an Australian visual artist based in Melbourne with work held in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.[1][2] She makes work in a variety of material forms: books, small sculptures, photographs, posters, paintings, banners, multiples and large-scale installations. A reduced palette of red and white is characteristic of her work. She uses raw and inexpensive materials, such as hessian and cardboard; with the work displaying an unmistakable sense of personal labour through its handmade aesthetic.[3][4]

Career

Nolan was a member of the group of artists who formed ‘Store 5’, a loose experimental collective and artist run space based in Melbourne between 1989 and 1993.[5] She was one of a group of Australian artists who were part a loose cooperative and space connected to the experimental Store 5 Melbourne ARI between 1989 and 1993.[3] The Store 5 artists shared an interest in the traditions of non-objective art, a form of art that relinquishes describing the exterior world in favour of examining the artwork in its material form.[4] Frequent tropes include language, concentrating on the linguistic qualities of words and their connection to architectural space as a material form .[3] Additionally conceptual art, as well the aesthetics of Russian constructivism which adopts the language of abstraction and revolutionary aesthetics and its relationship to a pragmatic utilitarian approach to art, architecture and design with utopian, even revolutionary, social ideals continue to inform Nolan's work today.[3][4] Since the 1980s Nolan has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally.[2] Nolan is represented by Anna Schwartz Gallery.[3]
