Summer 2023 – Rensselaer, Indiana
Best of Show Winner at REN ART WLK Art Battle

As part of the REN ART WLK’s Art Battle, Nick Abstract joined over ten talented artists in a live painting competition held in the heart of Rensselaer, Indiana. Each artist was tasked with creating a unique piece of art on-site and in front of community spectators, who then voted to determine the winner of "Best of Show."

Staying true to his roots, Nick created a vibrant graffiti-inspired piece, showcasing the bold, dynamic style that has defined his career. While many competitors opted for depictions of animals and nature, Nick’s unapologetically authentic approach resonated with the audience, earning him the top prize and an additional cash award.

The victory underscored the community’s appreciation for diverse artistic styles and Nick’s ability to connect with audiences through his mastery of graffiti. He expresses his gratitude to the organizers, fellow artists, and the Rensselaer community for their enthusiasm and support during this unforgettable event.
