Joshua Nierodzinski (b. 1982, Worcester, MA, USA) is a visual artist and co-founder of HEKLER. His studio practice reimagines American history and identity through a visual language that merges oil painting with multispectral photography. Raised in a working class family, Nierodzinski explores the complexities of value, hierarchy, and belonging. His paintings incorporate references to personal experience and collective history which he merges into allegorical compositions. The result is a multilayered body of work that addresses the connections between literal truth and symbolic meaning.

Nierodzinski earned his BFA in Painting and Art History from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and his MFA from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally with solo presentations in the U.S. and Mexico. He is the recipient of numerous awards including a National Endowment for the Arts Grant and an AIM Bronx Museum Fellowship.
