Interview nicole gordon
Nicole Gordon (born May 19, 1976) is a Chicago-based artist whose paintings draw on images from highly stylized scenic art, such as 19th-century French wallpaper, and Medieval and Renaissance landscapes, to create anachronistic and often whimsical paintings with bright and vibrant colors. Her work is often mixed media, combining oil painting and encaustic techniques with more traditionally craft-associated materials such as glitter, and often incorporates installed sculptures that extend the paintings into the viewer's space.
