About the Artist

Nicholas Zepeda is an artist born and raised in Chicago’s southwest neighborhoods. He is currently in his last year of pursuing a BFA in Studio at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he received a nomination for the Yale at Norfolk Summer 2020 residency. Informed by the aspirations of his immigrant family and his own doubts, Zepeda grew up convinced that the repression of his identities was a consequence of achieving a conveniently-unspecified ’something greater’. Nicholas is making drawings and paintings that see a new weight to self-discovery after achieving his childhood dream: moving into his own apartment.
