Nicholai Khan – Be Your Own Icon Catalog<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nicholai Khan fue un artista, fil\u00f3sofo, humanitario e \u00edcono. Sus obras son una fusi\u00f3n de su educaci\u00f3n diversa y su exposici\u00f3n a la cultura colorida y vibrante de Trinidad, as\u00ed como a la escena del graffiti en la ciudad de Nueva York a mediados de la d\u00e9cada de 1980.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

NEW York\/ 27\/05\/ 2023.- Join us for this special commemorative gallery exhibition celebrating a true Icon at One Art Space \u2013 23 Warren St, New York on June 1 through June 6th, 2023. The opening reception will be held on June 1st, 2023. The exhibition is curated by Keli Lucas of The Parallel and is the first exhibition since Nicholai Khan\u2019s passing in 2022. Limited edition copies of Nicholai\u2019s first published art book entitled \u201cBe Your Own Icon\u201d will debut alongside limited edition prints from the collection. There will also be a VR experience where you can put on a headset and step into a world that Nicholai painted in VR himself back in 2019.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEach icon\u2019s contributions not only inspire, but uplift the spirits of generations of those who are privileged enough to learn from and about them. An icon is an individual who is completely unique and selfless in their actions for the benefit of all who are in need. The individuals are chosen for this series because their lifetimes were full of sacrifice, passion and love; something we must pay forward.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

His masterful use of color and light is reminiscent of the tropical paradise of his childhood, while the texture and ultra-stylistic form of expression in his art are related to his exposure to the graffiti culture and galleries in NYC. Raised in a household with a mix of Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish backgrounds, Khan was exposed to various religions and spiritual teachings, which led him to find enlightenment in the intersection of all religions.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
