Nick Wroblewski was born into a lively community of artists in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His innate drive to make art was fostered through early experiences in puppetry, painting and performance, including an iconic circus tour with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theater that traveled down the Mississippi River in an old houseboat in the golden years before the internet. Inspired by idealists, Nick’s commitment to art has never wavered. Through art classes as a child, arts high school as a teen, and a degree in fine arts from Bennington College in Vermont, Nick explored the full scope of creative mediums before finding his place in printmaking, where he combines his love of sculpture, painting and composition into a single artistic process. While his focus is on large, multicolor reduction prints, he still tinkers with the intricacies of pop-up mechanics and paper mache sculptures. He lives with his wife and two children in Duluth, Minnesota.
"My artistic process requires three basic elements: wood, ink, paper. With these simple ingredients I intend to capture an energy that represents an honest, hand-hewn record of a physical process. Behind every print lies a theme meant to inspire and to affirm our relationship to the dynamic and deeply networked natural world."
