尼古拉
Nicolás Romero
關於
尼古拉(Nicolás Romero) 於 1999 年跟隨 Ariel Olivetti 學習繪畫，並於 2007 年至 2008 年間在羅哈斯文化中心學習。 2014 年入選 Facebook 藝術家計劃，2019 年起與藝術家 Diana Aisenberg 一起參加學習方法“工作診所”。他曾在洛杉磯的 The Diogenes Club 畫廊、羅馬的 Varsi 畫廊、克雷塔羅的 Libertad 畫廊及布宜諾斯艾利斯的 Dinámica 畫廊舉辦個展。他的作品曾在法國、意大利、荷蘭、南非的群展中展出，並且入選文化機構，如布宜諾斯艾利斯的 Amalita Fortabat 博物館和 Palais de Glace、羅薩里奧市的宏觀博物館以及 CCEC 的城市干預雙年展和阿根廷科爾多瓦的 Caraffa 博物館。
他於二十年前開始在他的家鄉－布宜諾斯艾利斯的街道上以Ever為名塗鴉並簽名，當時的布宜諾斯艾利斯剛脫離長達八年的軍事獨裁。那時，人們將藝術視為自由的象徵。
目前，尼古拉斯正圍繞“自然死亡”為題，展開他的系列作品。他擅長將生活周遭的事物及人類學結合，將觀察到社會上的所見所聞表現於作品之中形成它獨特的符號。這些符號代表著不同的事物，例如：經濟、文化、宗教、食物、生活用品等等...。
尼古拉斯的作品中即使沒有人類的出現，這些顯而易見的社會符碼，卻也成為了人類存在過的證明。
尼古拉斯長期實踐社會觀察，其作品取材自他在人類學領域研究的中所發現的空間關係，不同的場域、符號、行動者和脈絡之間交互作用，這些元素在經濟、社會和文化中共存，並不斷定義著社會實踐。他的作品由許多生活中現成物拼貼而成，例如比可口可樂、飲料罐、食物，將這些物品擺放在一起即使沒有人類的出現，不僅證明著人類的存在，同時，也展現了現代大環境下社會環境的脈絡。
