Nuri Patricia (b. 1996, Hudson, New York) is a visual artist and poet. Their practice uses mythology and allegory to synthesize cultural anxieties, spirituality, and the psychedelic. Patricia’s interdisciplinary process centers on multilayered oil paintings that investigate the political and psychic tension between freedom and constraint. Each painting emerges through an intricate process of layering concrete, oil paint, resin, crushed glass dust, and glass beads. Patricia has studied at The New School and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute Chicago. His work has been exhibited at venues such as Swiss Institute, New York; Cob Gallery, London; Harkawik, New York; Murmurs Gallery, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; Eric Firestone Gallery, New York; Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago; and Lubov, New York, among others.
