Kole Nichols (b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work often utilizes the languages of drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture as an expanded approach to art-making in order to navigate his conceptual interests. Born and raised in Alabama Nichols’ attended both the University of Alabama at Birmingham and The University of Alabama where he received his MFA. Currently, Nichols resides in Atlanta, Georgia where he works as both an artist and educator.

Recently Nichols’ work has consisted of the exploration of physical, spiritual, and emotional spaces. Through a process of internal reflection, he distorts familiar architectural motifs such as gates, windows, and doors into amalgamated compositions gathered from personal recollections both vague and vivid. Alongside these terrestrial thresholds, he mounts parallel explorations of non-physical boundaries through loose constructions of star fields, maps, and charts. It is through these endeavors that Nichols seeks to create pathways, markers, and structures to guide himself.
