Nicholas Barron(II)
Known for years around Chicago and the country as an accomplished guitarist and singer/songwriter, opening for the likes of Johnny Cash, Al Green, and B. B. King, Nicholas Barron has also been quietly experimenting with new forms of visual arts.
A master doodler since childhood, his neo-expressionistic and colorful works reflect his ear for the poetry and hues of the Chicago streets. In fact, you can find him most days in the alley outside Barron Mind Studio in Rogers Park blending a dizzying palette with his whimsical but poetic symbolic language. Influenced by his father’s artworks and for his passion for the American tradition of the Blues, his paintings, street art, drawings and murals embrace the struggle of our times with passion and joy.
