Acrylic on bleached denim harvested from jeans

Nolan creates paintings from denim harvested from worn jeans. Through bleaching, cutting, washing, piecing, and paint, he transforms everyday material into abstract landscapes, flowers, planets, and textured fields. His work begins with the belief that jeans are our biographers: they record movement, labor, memory, and daily life in their fades, seams, frays, and worn places. In the studio, he follows those traces of lives lived, allowing the denim to help shape each composition. In addition to paintings, visitors will find smaller works, studies, earrings, cards, and other pieces that extend the same practice, helping him use every part of the jeans he harvests while revealing how familiar fabric becomes an unexpected surface for contemporary art.
