The Art of Kevin Nichols - October through December 12, 2025

"No Turning Back" 12 X 28 Graphite and colored pencil on paper
This drawing is a close-up of Morpheus from The Matrix - with only his brow and sunglasses in frame. Neo reflects off his lenses: in one, he's reaching for the red pill, and in the other, he's staring at the blue pill. Kevin writes, "I love the ambiguity here. Is it just a distortion from the curve of the glasses? Or is it a subtle nod to the many versions of Neo in the Matrix?"
Kevin Nichols, a Cincinnati native who turned a lifelong obsession with pencil and paper into a career is a long time client of Robin Imaging. We are grateful to have digitized and reproduced amazing graphite drawings over the years. Since 2017 he has traveled the comic con circuit selling hyper-detailed pencil drawings: portraits, pop culture mashups, and emotional moments frozen in graphite. The content of his work varies and his reproduction of "Music Hall," commissioned by his mother, is displayed above the counter in our lobby. The original drawing is on display and for sale in our gallery.
This exhibit presents 30 of Kevin's original works. Each piece is part of a silent auction running online (site to be published). The auction is to provide funds towards Huntington's Disease research, a disease that Kevin's wife Dana was diagnosed with in 2024. The funds will also help Kevin and Dana navigate through this new chapter of life together.
An artist talk "AI in Art, AI in Medicine" is scheduled for Wednesday, December 10th at 7PM. A celebration and closing for the fundraiser is Friday, December 12th, from 6PM - 9PM.
