Artist CV

Nick Mass is a multimedia artist from Buffalo, NY. 

A self described  “Rapper, Painter, Creative, dude”, he expresses himself in any way he can. Some hats he wears on and off include improv comedian, video editor, website/social media designer, collage cutter, instant photographer, event curator, clothing brand owner, rapper, poet, horrible no good football player, and home cook. His involvement in the hip hop, art, poetry, and comedy scenes in Buffalo has been an influence on his fascination with the connectivity of a life's pieces and the roles we play into each other. 

Significant works include his three solo exhibitions “Puzzles and Pieces”, “The Heartbreakers”, and “i got u flowers”, the “Florals” series made for “Kids’ Table”, his ongoing experimental interview series “Vague Questions” in collaboration with Silas Rubeck, and his freshman musical effort “Cigarette Vending Machine” along with the subsequent music videos supporting the project. Through his work he explores themes of confused emotions, romantic relationships, mental health issues, sexuality, home life, interconnectivity, and the fleetingness of life.

Nick is currently a member of Buffalo’s BICA School, was a member of Hunt Residencies V, and has studied Fine Art at Niagara County Community College.
