니콜라스 블레이크(니코)

Artist representation by URBK LAB

니콜라스 블레이크(니코)는 미국 출신으로, 여덟 살 때부터 전 세계 신화, 민담, 생물체와의 연결을 표현하는 수단으로 그림을 그려왔다. 이러한 요소들은 그의 상상력을 사로잡아 원초적이고 몽환적인 작품 속에 구현되었다. 어린 나이에도 불구하고 니코는 온라인 플랫폼에서 국제적인 예술가, 수집가, 미술 애호가들의 컬렉터와 팬 층을 확보했으며, 그의 작품은 뉴욕, 한국, 자카르타, 덴마크에서 개인전과 그룹전으로 전시되었다. 브랜드와의 협업은 디지털 아트 창작을 탐구하는 동시에 붓, 페인트 마커, 오일 페인트 스틱, 스프레이 페인트로 표현을 남길 수 있는 모든 표면에 창작 활동을 계속하는 방식이기도 하다.

Nicholas Blake, known as Nico, is from the US and since he was eight he’s been drawing and painting as a way to express his connection with mythologies, folklore tales and creatures from around the world, which have been captivating his imagination and emerged in his raw and dreamlike compositions. Despite his young age, Nico has been able to build a following of international artists, collectors and art lovers on his online platforms and his artworks have been displayed in solo and group exhibitions in New York City, South Korea, Jakarta and Denmark. Collaborations with brands have been a way to explore digital art creations as well, while still keeping busy creating on any surface that can be marked by brushes, paint markers, oil paint sticks and spray paint.
