The Public Trust is pleased to present And a Child Shall Lead Them: An Exhibition of New Work by Nick Z with an opening reception May 8 at 6 pm. The exhibition runs through June 20, 2009.

Nick Z is a mixed media artist who uses his drawings as a foundation to make work that ranges from small scale pen and inks to large scale on site installations.

He grew up in Massachusetts a skateboarding spraypainting teen who also was into exploring abandoned environments and the woods. In college he went on to study painting and printmaking at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Since graduating with a BA in 2001 he has spent time living in the cities of Boston and New York making artwork, traveling, and exhibiting globally from Hong Kong to Montreal, Canada and extensively on the East Coast, most notably a 2 person exhibiton alongside Kai Althoff at Gladstone Gallery in New York.

Nick Z has attracted the likes of commercial clinets such as PEPSI co., Converse, and even Neiman Marcus with his eye catching youthful aesthetics.

His work embodies a defiant punk kid-like attitude mixed with subjects of wonder, hope, wants, needs, paranoia, physicality, and love. Nick Z's work was recently published in the 2009 Northeast edition of New American Paintings
