Dream Voyager

Artist: Nicholas Uhlmann Materials: Copper, stainless steel, aluminium Artist statement: ‘Dream Voyager’ can be seen as a poetic portrayal of human consciousness and its inexorable quest in charting a seemingly independent reality. Visually, the work displays a streamlined figure reclining upon a leaf of patinated copper with a stainless steel and corten steel plinth. The figure is formed in a shell of perforated copper wrapped upon a curved stainless steel tubular armature. The head and tail are solid cast aluminium. From the head sprouts a curved sail, also in perforated copper and stainless steel, which arches back and over the prone figure. About the artist: Nicholas Uhlmann is a mid-career sculptor living and working in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. He uses the medium of sculpture to explore transformation, transitions, growth and the positive potential within humanity. Since completing a BA Visual Art in 2002, he has evolved a unique sculptural language through the creation of a large body of work that has included miniatures to large-scale outdoor public sculptures. He has exhibited widely throughout Australia and abroad including fourteen solo shows and approximately one hundred group exhibitions. Recent and noteworthy commissions include the five-part sculpture ‘Tree Flower life cycle’ for the Royal Adelaide Hospital and ‘Seed Mix’, a multi part installation by the River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri in Old Mill Reserve, Hackney.
