Kole Nichols - Expand/contract

https://www.kolenichols.com

Kole Nichols (1998) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Florence, Alabama. Within their work, Nichols utilizes the languages of printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and painting as an expanded approach to art-making. While working, Nichols often embeds fibers of locally sourced substrates and natural dyes derived from plants of Alabama, reimagining the landscape painting as a material portrait. Their work operates like a memory-undulating between crisp clarity and hazy reminiscences. As they work place, time, and action are presented as inextricably linked.
Recent exhibitions in which they have been featured include the 44th Montgomery Art Guild Exhibition at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts and the Red Clay Survey: 2020 Exhibition of Contemporary Southern Art at the Huntsville Museum of Art.
