Harvey Nichol

Philipinne-born artist Harvey Nichol believes an artist’s role in society is to start conversations that can promote transformational social change. Harvey uses his voice to uplift and amplify underrepresented communities and their voices. Recently Harvey has been exploring storytelling in his work to call attention to his home country’s war on drugs. His bold subject matter is matched in his art through use of intense, bold colors, lines and forms that create a distinctive neo-expressionist look. Aerosol spray paint, oil sticks, and acrylic paint are his chosen mediums. Harvey’s hope is that by participating in the 2021 Creative Incubator, and documenting his painting process, he will reach a broader audience. Awareness is the first step in starting conversations that can create change you want to see in the world.
