NOLAN BARCLAY

The hidden world of the microscopic takes us into another universe, which I have always had a fascination with since very young. This show follows my creativity in new organic art forms which lie somewhere between future realities in nano-technology, genetic cells and other emerging boundaries of science and technology.

Coming from a graffiti background I have always liked to use spray cans, airbrushes and acrylics in my art to give it unique colours, effects and patterns. As a person with a high imagination I am always finding new art forms and extract ideas from photographs taken in nature.

I have lots of influences from nature: physics, biology - plants and old masters in painting and airbrush.

Meta physics is a new area I am looking into as well as Aztec art forms. My future art explorations will look into synthetic biology, 3d printing, self replication machines and the designing of synthetic DNA, which could be governed by different laws, different materials and principles to which we do not understand.

Could our world be entering a spiritual world of wickedness in high places? or could we be entering a new dawn of machine enchanted spirituality and life styles which change our beliefs and faiths or challenge our ideas of who we are as a species. A new spiritual warfare of grind technologies, genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence and nano-technology as we become a new species of techno-sapiens.
