Painting with Light is a new project by the Sidney Nolan Trust. Funded through Herefordshire’s a Great Place, the project which focuses on young people will explore Sidney Nolan’s Polaroid photographs and his early use of digital imagery and editing.
SIR SIDNEY NOLAN
‘Nolan has pursued his own path. His predominantly figurative style has been an aesthetic refuge for eyes and minds bored by abstraction. His imagination is endlessly questing and his artistic and technical invention perhaps unparalleled.’ Jane Clark, 1987
Self-taught and experimental, from the outset Nolan was resolutely modern.

Rodd Court is the historic manor house at the heart of our estate that sits astride the
English / Welsh border.
