Title
Other side art: Trevor Nickolls, a survey of paintings and drawings 1972-2007
Description

Other side art is the first museum survey of the work of senior South Australian artist, Trevor Nickolls. Nickolls has been described as ‘the father of urban Aboriginal art’. He stands as a seminal figure whose career has spanned an unprecedented era of Aboriginal cultural expression since colonisation. Over more than thirty years, Nickolls has developed a unique repertoire of visual symbols to depict the impact of Western culture on Aboriginal traditional life. His art informs many of the critical intellectual and aesthetic positions that are vital to questions of identity and Aboriginality in Australia.
