Light Other Room is not made for the comfortable. It is a quiet rebellion, a threshold only the self-aware and untamed will recognize, where those who dare to question step beyond the known and claim a freedom most will never even see.

Every location was chosen with intention. • Share your photo and tag @lilkool & @nikitingallery on Instagram. We repost everything we see.

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio preparing for a major solo exhibition this fall. While working toward it, I kept coming back to a group of drawings that I worked on the past year - pieces I thought to only keep for my archive. They hold a kind of rawness and immediacy that doesn’t always make it into finished work. This release includes: 6 oil on paper drawings Each one comes directly from my studio - original, signed, and part of the process that’s leading into what I’ll be showing later this year. I’m choosing to fund this upcoming exhibition through my own work and the people who connect with it. So if you decide to acquire one of these drawings, you’re not just collecting something - I see it as helping make the exhibition possible. As a thank you, anyone who acquires a piece from this release will be invited to a private, in-person showing after the exhibition, where I’ll be sharing unreleased works and giving a closer look at where the work is heading. There are only a small number of these available, and once they leave the studio, they won’t be revisited. I appreciate the support more than I can really put into words. Available for purchase at nikitingallery.com
