Nicholas Uhlmann

Nicholas Uhlmann is a mid-career sculptor living and working in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. He completed a BA Visual Art, majoring in sculpture, at Adelaide College of the Arts in 2002. Whilst a student, Nicholas invented a distinctive method of wrapping a steel armature in layers of thin metallic strips. Since then he has developed and refined this organic constructivist technique through the creation of a large body of work that has included miniatures to large scale outdoor public sculptures, crafted from various metals and timber. A notable work is his installation of five sculptures titled Tree Flower Life Cycle, adorning the main courtyard in the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Nicholas has held twelve solo shows and exhibited in over fifty group shows and outdoor sculpture awards throughout Australia and overseas.
