“own-GOAL!!!!”
Nick Waddell
23 July → 14 Aug 2010

own GOAL!!!! was an exhibition of two halves.

Taking it one artwork at a time, own GOAL!!!! is a trophy room of achievement, borrowing from the secular and non-secular world.

It is a “personal best” show for Nick Waddell whose training and intensity have resulted in big on-ground rewards.

It is about triumph over adversity, and going hard at the art.

It is about having a RED HOT GO!

How do contemporary artists make visual art in a world where we are saturated by images?

Nick Waddell graduated from the VCA drawing department in 2009, when he was also awarded the Orloff Family award, the Alliance Française award and the John Vickory scholarship. He regularly exhibits nationally and internationally, recently exhibiting at The Division of Human Works in Brooklyn and the 2009 Blake Prize Director’s Cut.
