Though known within the sneaker world as the creator of iconic silhouettes such as the Woven Footscape Chukka and the Air Yeezy II, Nathan VanHook‘s talents expand far beyond the sharp lines of footwear design. The senior footwear designer of Nike Sportswear has extended his creative hand to a new exhibition at One Grand Gallery, entitled “STROKING IT.” Intended to experiment with color and form, this solo exhibition finds VanHook dashing thousands of simplistic, delicate paint strokes over pop icons and found objects. With the admittedly erotic title, the artist also cheekily references the connection between brushstrokes and bringing pleasure. Be sure to stop by One Grand Gallery on January 10 for the opening reception of “STROKING IT.”
