Olaf Nicolai artworks and editions

Olaf Nicolai’s artworks, paintings and editions can be summed up under conceptual art, but differ strongly in detail. He works abstractly as well as figuratively. All artworks, however, have the critial analysis of political, social, and cultural topics in common.

The clear language of form, the changed dimensions and the calculated implementation of his ideas with different materials are the remarkable and formal aspects of his artworks. In Olaf Nicolai’s artworks and editions the area of tension between nature and culture is dealt with a multimedia way, approaching both very current topics as well as fundamental social questions. Besides symbols of trivial culture, he thus uses botanical subjects as a motif often.
