Rohan Wealleans
Rohan Wealleans was born in 1977 in Invercargill, New Zealand. In 2000 he graduated with a BFA (Painting) from Elam School of Fine Arts, The University of Auckland and in 2003 he gained a MFA (Painting). He was the winner of the 15th Annual Wallace Art Award in 2006 and has exhibited widely in New Zealand and internationally since then, including the 17th Biennale of Sydney in 2010.
His work is held in prominent collections, including the James Wallace Collection, and he continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art through his innovative and thought-provoking approach.
Wealleans' practice is characterised by a deep exploration of the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces, often involving the manipulation of materials to create dynamic, tactile works. His works have resonated with critics and audiences alike for their bold conceptual undertones and their ability to engage with complex ideas about culture, perception, and the body.
