Nish Cash aka ISHK is a female aerosol artist who has been creating and devastating for over 15 years. Straight from Adelaide, she has represented on many spaces that still adorn the CBD with elegant pieces and characters. Part time DJ, Full time Artist, she works with a passion through hip hop.
Aerosol enamel paint is the basis for all work wether it is walls or canvas. A lot of Nish’s work is based around 2 basic principles in graffiti – letters and characters. With a feminine style that stands out as organic and fluid relying on colour to define the letter structure, her characters take on a life of their own. The characters also take on much of the tonal style but are always in conflict. All her characters play on the notion of opposites, yin and yang etc. Structured yet soft, sassy and innocent, dreamy and focused. They all represent a small fantasy inside of us.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Mode 2, Vaughn Bode, Futura 2000, Phase 2, Alphonse Mucha, Roger Dean to name a few. Oriental influences, feminine and females, music, old school hip hop all get referenced on walls and canvases.
Painting many prolific spaces around Adelaide, Nish has had the opportunity to travel, paint and exhibit interstate. Along side Ladie Poise, Joske and Sear, she has helped to spear head the annual national female graffiti event “Ladie Killerz”.
Currently her work extends from walls, workshops, commissions, canvases, album covers, skate boards, etc.
