Nick Cassway merges a fine arts practice with commercial design, iconography, and illustration to create vibrant works with bold and impactful imagery. Above the Sound of Ideologues Clashing is an immersive room-sized installation of a custom wallpaper pattern involving 80 sequential drawings that progresses and ultimately repeats over the four walls of CFEVA’s gallery space. In this narrative-based wallcovering, a fraught encounter takes place between a stage magician and a sorceress and erupts into a confrontation between their distinct approaches to using magic. Above the Sound of Ideologues Clashing brings to the foreground a conversation about the coexistence of oppositional forces, which is especially necessary in this politically and ideologically charged time.
