Nikhil Kirsh
Nikhil is a British artist who emerged in 2011 in Reykjavik, Iceland with his first solo show entitled, “TRANSGRESS, ramma fyrir ramma”. Since then he has exhibited his subtle yet provocatively honest works through 11 subsequent collections and 13 shows in Iceland and Copenhagen. He is also known in Reykjavik for his affinity with Icelandic artists, resulting in sculptural and theatrical collaborations. His recent return to London was marked by collections, REBIRTH, and I ACQUIESCE, shown in Bermondsey Gallery, London.
