World of Pain Nicholas Spratt

Auckland based artist Nicholas Spratt is an artiste whose work employs a variety of mediums to explore the histrionics of modern-day life: re-investigating moments in time and the memory of space, unearthing our hidden histories. In World of Pain, Spratt will present a collection of works that examine the highs and lows of human achievement, piecing together such disparate entities as fallen footballing angel Diego Maradona, Fozzie Bear, the Columbian drug cartels and his academic record to analyse the day-to-day dramas in ordinary life. World of Pain will be accompanied by a catalogue and website.
