Thomas Nölle

Thomas Nölle (Soest, Germany,1948-Badalona, Spain, 2020). He lives in Barcelona since 1988. He commenced his artistic activities in the mid-1970s. Between 1979 and 1981 he travelled extensively throughout various Latin American countries, including Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil, where he created photographic series on the Indians of the Amazon, the life of the caboclos and the lesser-known side of Carnival in Rio. Marked social undertones, a sensibility for capturing and addressing relevant issues related to the complex relationship between humans and nature, and a critical approach to politico-economic, cultural and environmental issues are themes that were reflected even in his early photographic and three-dimensional works, and were destined to maintain a constant presence in practically all of his subsequent artistic productions. His last exhibition in life, entitled “En Passant”, was held with Puxagallery between February and May 2020.
