JJ Nicholson has, for 27 years, been a conceptual artist working with natural and upcycled, post-industrial materials from agriculture. He works near his family's farm in Geneva, NY borrowing elements and creating medium to large scale installations in which are typically semi-permanent assemblages. His work is seen as a contrast between the architectural and the gestural - opposing landscapes which he is equally both a part of. He has exhibited infrequently yet has his artwork in small collections throughout the country. He has traveled extensively through the U.S. and Europe. He has studied film and photography in Boulder, CO; fine arts sculpture in NYC; landscape architecture in Ithaca, NY; and graduate level architecture in Rochester, NY. He also studied briefly in Copenhagen, Denmark.
