Nicolas Shake x
Shake was born in Northridge, California and lives and works in Los Angeles. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA, 2008) and Claremont Graduate University, where he earned his MFA in 2011. Shake is a multimedia artist working in painting, photography, and sculpture, with a focus on reframing the everyday human-made detritus that he encounters on the border of the city and the desert. Shake’s sculptures and large-scale installations reference and incorporate elements of this urban and exurban debris. Arranged into carefully lit tableaux, they have been staged along southern California’s San Andreas Fault Line from Coachella Valley to the Salton Sea and via Vast Space Projects in Las Vegas.
