Jimmy Nuttall is a multi-disciplinary artist working across installation, painting, textile and filmmaking. His practice draws on personal histories and curiosities to explore favoured themes of desire, vulnerability versus control, nostalgia and memory. He enjoys working with hoarded and discarded materials and uses repetition and gesture in his ruminations.

For the last ten years Nuttall’s artistic practice has combined artist filmmaking to create narratives performed within and by his social and artistic milieu. His film works have been shown in solo exhibitions, screenings and film festivals, have been included in keynote exhibitions on queer artist filmmakers in the Asia Pacific.

Nuttall has worked for a number of artists within Australia and abroad, performing in works that have been presented in the Centre Pompidou. In 2024 he was a resident at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, and in 2020 he was tutored by Vaginal Davis at la haute école d’art et design (HEAD) in Geneva.
