Nik Gelormino (b. 1986 San Francisco, CA) lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union, New York in 2008. Working within the fields of sculpture, painting, and design, Nik Gelormino deftly explores form through natural materials, with an emphasis on handmade processes and playful engagement with functionality. Gelormino's work explores the porosity of these genres and prompts audiences to consider the integration of art and daily life. With his recent exhibition at Fernberger, Well, Gelormino presented a suite of decidedly sculptural works that depicted utilitarian objects– cars, knives, hands, tools, houses– inviting close inspection with intricate details and the inclusion of text. Working primarily in wood and metal, Gelormino’s practice is situated within a distinctly Californian legacy of artists whose approach marries a monastic attention to detail and craft with a witty irreverence.

Gelormino’s work has been seen in numerous solo and two artist exhibitions at galleries such as Sea View, Los Angeles; House of Seiko, San Francisco; Gallery 12.26, Los Angeles; and Old Room, New York. Group shows include Marta, Los Angeles; Bel Ami, Los Angeles; Office Baroque, Brussels; Sans Titre, Paris; Venus Over Manhattan, New York; Jan Kaps, Cologne; Night Gallery, Los Angeles; Arturo Bandini, Los Angeles and Artists Space, New York. He had his first solo exhibition with Fernberger in January 2026. His work is currently on view at ICA San Diego in UNFOLD PROJECTS Exhibition 01: We Must Imagine It.
