JUROR: Our Juror of Awards for the 2023 Waterworks exhibit is Kenneth Nicholson
Born in Latrobe Pennsylvania, Kenneth received his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2016. He currently teaches as an adjunct instructor at University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, Seton Hill University, and Westmoreland County Community College. His work has been exhibited in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Ohio, Washington DC, New Jersey, and New York.
Kenneth Nicholson composes his artwork with a collage sensibility, piecing together his figures and portraits from fragments of imagery that combine to create a disjointed whole. But from these chaotic beginnings he applies his meticulous skills in rendering and paint handling, creating solid puzzle-like images with a tension between their deliberate construction and the random qualities of the collage.
