Artist Nikko Washington, of Hyde Park, Chicago, IL, has created art since the beginning of his time. What started with drawing took form into painting, finally opening his doors to graphic design and screen-printing. Taking art into his own hands, Washington’s aesthetic has led him to excel in many arenas including Artistic Director for Chicago hip-hop collective Savemoney. Nikko Washington, his new body of work, is a culmination of abstract art and text in direct response to questions on gentrification and displacement; two themes that are heavily prevalent across all bodies of his work and narratives he and his loved ones have experienced first hand. His past works include portraits of black culture, leaders and martyrdom.
