About Nick Kushner:

Kushner is a New York based artist who uses his blood as pigment in his paintings. He first started using blood in his art at age 15. His art taps into the darker recesses of the human psyche with surreal imagery that is driven by his knowledge of the occult and by his life experiences. His first exhibition was featured in downtown Los Angeles and was attended by Marilyn Manson himself.

About the Piece:

The Immoralist is a self-portrait made from his own blood. Kushner likens his work to “Art as modern-day alchemy by the literal and complete immersion within it, using the most personal and symbolic medium innately possible."
