Untitled
Spray paint on wood
Dimensions forthcoming
Nick Oliveri is a visual artist and tattoo artist whose work moves between painting, drawing, and tattooing. His tattoo practice reflects a strong command of traditional imagery, bold contour, graphic composition, and color, while his studio work loosens those instincts into something more abstract and intuitive.
In this piece, fluorescent pinks, turquoise, cobalt, cream, rust, and violet build through broad loops, drips, overspray, and partially obscured marks. The surface has the feel of a city wall layered over time—painted, tagged, covered, and painted again.
Up close, soft clouds of spray sit beside denser passages of color, while black lines sweep across earlier forms. The work feels immediate, loose, and atmospheric, with the energy of graffiti translated into abstraction.
