About the Artwork:

"This was a wonderful place to swim in the middle of the city. In Freiburg, Germany, the council had made terraces in the local river to form a series of small pools cascading through the town. Everyone congregated here for swimming. It was a lovely place to relax in the sun. I love swimming."

Christian Nicolson (b. 1971) is a New Zealand artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores history, nostalgia, and the natural world around him. Influenced by his coastal upbringing in the 1980s, his work is marked by expressive mark-making, vivid colour, and conceptual play. Nicolson’s large-scale sculptures and emotive paintings are rooted in freedom, humour, and personal history. A former designer, he brings visual clarity and narrative energy to each piece. Recurring themes include childhood, identity, nudity, sci-fi, and the passage of time. Christian has a sense of humour and often expresses it in his work. With a strong exhibition history and works held in public and private collections, Nicolson continues to forge a distinctive, enduring artistic voice.
