Nick Flatt is a realist painter and sculptor. Nick Flatt is\u00a0 notable for his large-format portraits in addition to large scale mixed media installations. He like working with models that work in the commercial industry. He find that he is able to mimic real advertisements more easily. The artist like the idea of using industry models, poses, and professional lighting rigs to mock the idea of \u201cselling.\u201d Sort of holding a mirror up to the absurdity of advertising and the false needs it creates.’<\/p>\n
n Flatt\u2019s words, \u201cThis show is about the things we want, and how the need to obtain these vices influence our everyday lives.\u201d Rather than examining the influences conditioning us to lust after sex, money, and power, this exhibit considers \u201cthe carrot,\u201d \u201cthe glossy images of desire that makes us feel like we are not quite living up to our potential,\u201d \u201cthat make our lives feel mediocre.\u201d These portraits, glossy and glamorized yet also uniquely raw and assertive, force us to confront the cheap objectification and manipulation we encounter from countless sources in our daily lives. Flatt explains, \u201cBy addressing the strings that pull us to these empty wants, it makes cutting them that much easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
