Nomad: The Art of Losing It Part III

Berlin’s prolific and sanity-defying Nomad will be curating a group show at Found this December. However, Nomad is not curating a show of his colleagues; instead, he is wrangling his fractured personalities and giving them each a piece of art to create.

The German-born artist has paid his dues in California a decade ago and has served time for his antics and suffered through homelessness on and off for a while before returning to Germany, where the scale and complexity of his work grew.

‘The Art of Losing It Part III’ finds Nomad working primarily on paper, leaning towards a dirty combination of mixed media, in lieu of the classical street art styles of clean lines and graphic shapes. This new body of work is inspired by Los Angeles trash, both literal waste and low cult fare like tabloids and other readily-disposable weeklies, billboards, etc.

Please join us for the opening on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 6-9pm with music by Side Pipe.
