Niky Motekallem makes work that revolves around an esoteric mythos and the natural world. She makes decay beautiful and depicts animals and figures rotting, surrounded by plants and fungi in a state of exchanging matter.
Before becoming an illustrator, Niky was a painter and printmaker. She found that her work could exist comfortably within illustration, which straddles the realm of both commercial and fine art. Her work has the feeling that a cabinet of curiosities may give to its viewer.
Be sure to join us on Friday, May 13th at our new MFA Graduate Studios to enjoy Niky’s thesis work along with the other 2016 graduates.
