6/23/23: July 8 6-9 pm, Wet Squelching on the Dancefloor by is an exhibition of new work by Kenneth Nicholson

With this series of paintings, drawings, and etchings Nicholson explores his fascination with the human body by disassembling and reanimating it via the process of collage. The additional step of drawing and painting this cut-up collection of images allows him to indulge in the gap between initial fragmentation and completion. In this stage, new suggestions emerge from the collision of images, creating compositional and descriptive possibilities for Kenneth to follow. A rhythmic push and pull develops as he digs back into the surface and erases or scratches off layers of rendered form, leaving areas more static, and ghost-like. The end result is uncanny imagery both viscerally familiar and unsettling.
About the Artist:
Born in Latrobe Pennsylvania, Kenneth Nicholson received his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2016, BFA from Seton Hill University in 2014, and his AFA from Westmoreland County Community College in 2010. He currently teaches as an adjunct instructor at University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, Seton Hill University, and Westmoreland County Community College.
