Noah Chavkin is an artist and designer whose work focuses on themes of humanity and pop culture. Typically working from memory, Chavkin is been building and refining his personal style all the time. Accessibility is the most important thing in Chavkin's practice, as he feels that most of the time art puts the viewer in an exclusionary box. Chavkin attempts to make his work accessible by using a variety of colors and shapes to create bold and minimal compositions that are seemingly easy to understand while still making complicated and professional moves. He is incredibly attracted to the relationship between shape and color, and utilizes both in order to create depth and space. His style is based on relationships with folk art, pop art, tattoo culture, and a combination of cubism and minimalism. He is highly inspired and informed by traditional Mexican and Meso-american art as well as the art of Keith Haring, Fernand Leger, Tarsila do Amaral, Nina Chanel Abney, Joan Cornella, and Pablo Picasso amongst others. Chavkin's art often relies heavily on the use of symbolism and cubism, combined with bright colors and playful motifs to evoke joy and happiness. His pieces are more often nostalgic and his goal is to provoke a pleasant nostalgia in his viewers. Chavkin strongly believes in promoting art appreciation and education amongst youth. His work has been shown in the Littman Gallery, The OCAC Art Gallery, the Sugar Cube Gallery, and the MK Gallery.
