Formerly Brooklyn, now Chicago-based visual artist Damiane Nickles

experiments with canvas painting, collages and other mediums, exploring the

relationship between form, texture and color in his pieces. Inspired by how

connected Chicagoans are, he works to bring that same feeling of connectivity to his

art, blending bold colors and intricate patterns influenced by his Trinidadian

heritage with a strong New York boldness. This is what his Chicago Sounds Like.

This segment of “This Is What Chicago Sounds Like” was produced by Ari Mejia. To
