Adam Nudelman

Born 1970. Lives and works in Melbourne.

Complex structures placed in an otherwise romantic landscape are one striking feature of his work.

Completing studies at the Victorian College of the Arts in 1994, Nudelman embarked on an artistic journey of landscape painting in the tradition of the Heidelberg School and the Antipodean movement. He is now considered one of Australia's most promising emerging artists.

Nudelman's technique is highly refined and methodical, allowing him to render form and perceived light with relative ease. Complex structures placed in an otherwise romantic landscape are one striking feature of his work.

Transposing the realms of picture-making, Nudelman has engaged in issues of cultural heritage and identity whilst making poignant reference to the plight of his Jewish forebears.

It is the great challenge for an artist to explore themes of displacement, love, birth, and neo-colonisation without resorting to clichéd imagery. Nudelman's recent body of works speaks of very human experiences without referencing the figurative; the paintings are contemporary allegories.

These works crafted by an artist at the height of his powers act as Janus icons, making us aware of our past and guiding us into the future.

Nudelman's work is represented in numerous public, corporate and private collections in Australia, including National Museum, Canberra, The Australian Jewish Museum, Melbourne, United Energy, Melbourne, No. 1 Martin Place, Westin Hotel Sydney and Victorian College of the Arts.
