Chicago artist Nick Cave

Thanks to Suzi Q for hipping me to an exhibit of artist Nick Cave’s work at Artpost, running through February 24th. Locals, if you think that name’s familiar, you’re thinking of the dude in the band Bad Seeds, but this Nick Cave hails from Chicago. Suzi said she was initially drawn to his work via an article featuring the interiors in this Alvin Ailey trained dancer’s loft. The images really drew her in and she thought that if she liked his home so much, maybe she’d dig his work.

So I looked up the article she mentioned and was also intrigued. Below is a taste, but go check out the article so you can see all of the images–supercool.

When I checked out his work online, I was blown away:

After watching this video, I just can’t wait to go see the exhibit.
