NICOLOSI BIO

Artist to the Stars,
Nicolosi.
Pop Goes the Easel !

NicolosiPop artist and University of Iowa alum, Nicolosi has established himself as a household name in today’s top contemporary art circles by creating his signature Pop Art portraits of many of today's top luminaries in Entertainment, Sports, Political, and Corporate arenas.

Nicolosi creates paintings saturated with color using explosive bold strokes, using heightened colors such as chartreuse, electric blues, lemon yellows, fuchsia and purples. He takes his “cue" from Legendary Pop Artist, Andy Warhol.

Nicolosi's art journey first garnered mass media attention when his signature "Pop-Art Portraits" caught the eye of America‘s favorite Golden Girl, Rue McClanahan, and then, legendary actresses, Patricia Neal.

In the past few years, Nicolosi's Fine Artwork has been catapulted onto the world stage after being featured on Entertainment Tonight during their live telecasts of several this year’s Award shows, including the :
• 58th Annual Primetime Emmys
• 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards
• Independent Spirit Awards
• 78th Academy Awards® Nominees Luncheon
• 60th Festival De Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France

Recently, Alexian Brothers/Bonaventure House of Chicago named Nicolosi and Senator Barack Obama as the two most recent Prominent Chicagoans to serve as honorary board members for their organization.

The roster of celebrities who have autographed their own Nicolosi Pop Art portrait reads like a who’s who of tinsel town, including: Senator Hillary Clinton, Hugh Hefner, Ashton Kutcher, Brad Pitt, Placido Domingo, Jack Nicholson, Forest Whitaker, George Clooney, Helen Mirren,Kiefer Sutherland, Leonardo Dicaprio, Annette Bening Warren Beatty, Eddie Murphy, Conan O'Brien, Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson of The Dreamgirls, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sinise, Larry Hagman, Barbara Eden, Rita Moreno, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, Kirk Douglas to name a few.
