Nick’s Artist Statement:

“The body of work explores the idea of using traditionally unrepresented people as the subject, in the history of western art production. Additionally, the work seeks to represent the minorities, specifically Asian Americans that have been diminished in traditional American history of portraiture. The subjects in these works are usually all minorities like the artist, Nick Lee who is Japanese American. We live in a diverse world and we should reflect that in our paintings. There is an important need for representation for the young people of color learning about art to see themselves in paintings. This work wants to give better representation for people of color. People of color have been misrepresented in western art history and these paintings can start a conversation of inclusion.”
