Nick Mahshie
Barato, 2022Barato sources tropical ephemera from natural and manufactured surfaces to reflect the sentimental nature embedded in pattern, color, and clothing. Mahshie’s fluid use of
fashion design, found objects and printed textiles coalesce to create installations, garments, and art objects that are grounded in the tropical landscape that has shaped his aesthetic sensibilities.
