Nicolás Romero (Buenos Aires, 1985) began more than twenty five years ago signing his work as Ever and painting graffiti in the streets of his hometown, a city still processing the legacy of an eight year military dictatorship and discovering street art as a space for the expression of freedom.

Today, Romero’s practice is focused on studio based work and on the image as a site for social reflection and anthropological research. He works with traces found in his immediate surroundings, the result of a social fabric and a set of symbols born from the coexistence of social, cultural and economic forces. Religious prints, political emblems, contemporary icons and everyday elements all form part of his compositions, which he uses as a bridge to speak about more complex realities.

Romero has held solo exhibitions at Ochi Projects (Los Angeles), The Diogenes Club (Los Angeles), Galleria Varsi (Rome), Galería Libertad (Querétaro) and Dinámica Gallery (Buenos Aires). He has taken part in group shows at Studiocromie (Italy), Marian Cramer Projects (Amsterdam), Firs Gallery (Shanghai) and Cerquone Gallery (Madrid), among others, as well as in France, South Africa, Austria, Australia, Mexico and the United States.
