On the eve of the launch of New York Fashion Week 2009, New York artist Skye Nicolas greeted fans at Soho’s Ion Studio. Unveiling the Mortelle Noir Series (Act I) in collaboration with Marlon Richards, art critics and fashion’s elite alike were shocked to find true beauty in the morbid topic… murdered models.
Skye Nicolas is known for his unique style of creating large sized pieces featuring beautiful faces and noteworthy personalities. His very own technique of applying crayon and oil pigments onto over-sized sheets of brown paper produces stunning artwork that never fails to overwhelm, often leaving the viewer breathless.
His portraits of beautiful women capture the elusive underlying sensuality and sublime eroticism within his chosen subjects.
