Nigel Sense is an Australian pop artist whose work has been showcased at the inaugural Colombo Art Biennale in Sri Lanka as well as galleries around Sydney. His award-winning first solo exhibition, I Work with Tools, held at the Sheffer Gallery in 2012, firmly established him on the Australian art scene. In this interview, we'll hear Nigel talk about how his youth in Dapto, move to Sydney's inner west and travelling have all helped shape his identity as a uniquely Australian pop artist. Nigel's tattoos, his flowing wavy hair, wide-brimmed hat and laid back demeanour make him look the part of the subjects in his artwork. But as we'll hear, Nigel has struggled to fit into the box of the suburban Australian male and has often used his art to examine what it means to be a strong gripped, beer-drinking, meat-eater who watches footy and works a trade.
