Johann Nott’s art is a testament to a life well-lived and rich in experiences. His narrative, woven through diverse adventures and transformations, serves as a powerful backdrop to the art he creates. His sculptures echo the essence of his story — a fusion of nature, community, and personal growth.

Johann mixes his own bronze to create sculptures with a natural flow and form. His work is the result of inverse casting, using natural materials, both organic and inorganic, to create a space to cast into. 

Like his life journey, Johann’s art is perfectly imperfect. The imperfections in each piece invite the audience to slow down and ponder the intricacies of life. His sculptures celebrate the beauty found in unpredictability and in embracing the flow of creativity. The interplay between metal and glass in his work reflects his profound connection to the world around him.

As one navigates through his collection, it becomes clear that Johann is not merely an artist but also a storyteller. His art narrates a tale of resilience, adaptability, and the pursuit of authenticity. Each piece, emerging unpredictable and unique from its destroyed mould, invites viewers to reflect on their own journey and find the beauty hidden in life’s perfectly imperfect moments.
