Nicolas Ottavio Saccardo (he/they) is an emerging visual artist living and practicing on Kaurna land. Utilising primarily drawing and sculpture, their work revolves around an interest in human-object dynamics and finding unexpected ways of viewing often mundane, found materials. Through material-led experimentation, they attempt to intervene with objects as a way to dislodge them from familiar day-to-day contexts and blur the lines between material, place, self, and others, all in a world that grows increasingly dense and chaotic.
Nicolas is a recent graduate from The Adelaide Central School of Art (2024) and is also an active member of Highhorse Collective, a multidisciplinary artist-run group active in the SA arts scene.
