Nico Roussin
Multidisciplinary Artist
The Perception of Light and Material
Nico Roussin is a multidisciplinary French artist based in Las Vegas whose work navigates black as a living spectrum, not absence, but infinite gradation, depth, and dimension.
In his latest series, now at The Process Studio in North Las Vegas (by appointment), Roussin pushes his practice into fully fabricated, three-dimensional paintings. Hand fabricated wooden forms, or bas-reliefs, become the architecture for his canvases, over which he layers gradients of black that shift with light and perspective. Working with utilitarian materials sourced from hardware stores, Roussin builds rich mixed-media surfaces that absorb, reflect, and refract light in subtle ways. Shadows, reflection, and texture transform with every angle, blurring the line between painting and sculpture, surface and object.
Beyond the studio, Roussin works on large scale murals across Las Vegas, the U.S., and France. His compositions move effortlessly between meditative, infinite patterns, Bauhaus-inspired abstraction, and the raw energy of French street art and graffiti. Notably, his 2024 untitled mural at Doc Romeo Skate Park reimagines public space with his signature exploration of form, depth, and perception.
From intimate studio studies to bold cityscape works, Roussin’s practice is a multidimensional exploration of material, light, and perception where black and color becomes a spectrum, and simplicity transforms into complex visual poetry.
Roussin’s work has been commissioned privately throughout the United States, France, and across Europe. In addition to private collections, his murals and public art can be found throughout the city of Las Vegas and across the country. His work is also exhibited in galleries throughout Las Vegas.
