Nick Nazmi Describes Grant Wood
Nick Nazmi (b. Chicago, 1991) creates an array of paintings and drawings in which apparitions, lost souls, and characters in a book are stuck in their nostalgia for a time and place that is no longer accessible. His work is influenced heavily by Persian folklore and the poetry of his father and grandfather from Iran. Nazmi lives in Brooklyn, New York.
