Nicholaas Chiao is Delighted to Present a Permanent Virtual Exhibition of his conceptual art: The Idols of Niertismus
Please enjoy the selection of his works provided below. Niertismus is the idea of a new global religion and ethical philosophical teaching. Niertismus strives for immortality at the expense of correcting mistakes and harmlessness for others. Niertismus sees no need to commit harm in the scientifically correct future. Niertismus sees the future food of humans as free of animal or plant cruelty. Niertismus is a cult of scientific rightfulness in the era of nearly post-homo sapiens humans.
Eternal Rain of Beautiful Atomic Stability
2022, Gypsum, Vinyl, Approximately 50 x 50 x 8 inches, Approximate View. This work
symbolizes the enlarged atomic and molecular structure. It serves as a reminder of the division of atoms and the beginnings of the universe. The artist was especially actively
involved in sculpture in 2020-2022 when most of his sculptural projects were created. He likes to sculpt drops and particles, and the idea of a Lego-like atomic world has
always inspired him to create in the safety of thoughts.

The Gates of Eden
2022, Books, Paper, Steel, Approximately 50 x 30 x 19 inches, Approximate View. This work

Big Mother
2018, mixed media. This beautiful sculpture represents the beauty leading the strive for a better life for a man.
The Visibility of Death of King or Poet
2022-2023, fabric, paint, stones, plaster, aluminum, carpet, pigment, 70" x 70" x 15" approximate view.
The sculpture presented here is the result of several months of reworking, reconceptualization, and improvement of the sculpture of a man who died in a medieval battle. The artist uses
carefully combined stones to represent the mass of a human body hit by an arrow. It visualizes the horror and paradox of death in the sculptural form to stop us from murder and not to be afraid of learning about death. This work is a tribute to the
Dead Dad sculpture by Ron Mueck, shown at the Sensation exhibition by Charles Saatchi at the Royal Academy of Arts London in 1997. This work deals with death and the fear of the dead directly, placing an unwanted
reminder for the purpose of understanding the fear of death and overcoming this fear by existing next to it, watching it, and methodically resolving it. The work was intended to stimulate with fear the intelligence
of the artist. Chiao artist life in Brooklyn is a perpetually critical situation, in constant danger of shutting business. Artist believes in
the possibilities of science and in the ability to reanimate or resurrect people from death to become available to us in the future.
The Forms of Water
2022-2024, mixed media. This sculpture poetically suggests seeing the idea of the birth and variety of
life on Earth as a metamorphosis of raindrops; which, with time and repetition of action, begin to remember events and structurally and chemically strengthen their forms, and grow and fight
against the force of gravity to achieve a plurality of forms, based on differences in the size and positions of the seed; growth rates - depending on the frequency and abundance of forms of nutrition.
Souls of Water
2022-2023, mixed media. This Work suggests thinking about the existence of individuality and Souls of ALL life forms, not only humans,
as a result of their different life experiences. Threads symbolize the uniqueness of Experiences and Memories, and each Soul is therefore unique.

Reclining nude
2018, mixed media. This beautiful sculpture can be seen as an update on the previous visual practice of the great Henry Moore and Pablo Picasso.
According to Nicholaas Chiao, in the 21st century, super-innovations and completely new ideas are nearly impossible due to the known and well-learned encyclopedic volume of all previous works in thousands of years of art
history. All that is possible is the technocratic improvement of new versions from previously successful styles and ideas. You can't invent a new encyclopedia, but you can certainly take a few
pages out of it and refine them thoroughly and strongly to complete distinction and excellence, to a new level of quality and depth.
Lasting Love
2023, cardboard, plaster, paint, dimensions variable, approximate view.

Art of Nicholaas Chiao
1
Project in contemporary art, reaction to an unspeakably vivid experience of the New York art world, Soho and Chelsea Art galleries, and major New York museums, such as Metropolitan, Guggenheim, and MoMA.
Art project NICHOLAAS CHIAO - is an effort in the world of contemporary art, in a time of hyper-industrialization and overproduction, of artist-led curation of art and artist-made museum culture.
In the Contemporary period, uber-selective curators became an authority matching and superseding artists some time, except for great and famous masters. Artist as curator is heavily
important for the Project NICHOLAAS CHIAO - the practice to artist-support selective Museum-level Cultural authority by an effort of single man, instead of conventional museum team and years
of the process of natural selection of the artworks.
One of the project goals is to support the market for the Nicholaas Chiao artworks; financial Idea of authority is central to the artist,
who sees own self-sustainability as the key to instability in his artworks together with limited and well-orchestrated circulation of art on the public markets.
Another goal is to create positive social and political moments, to respond to international threats like Global warming, to support peace movements in the world, and to support the public image of Nicholaas Chiao in the mass media.
Online Museum consisting of a series of curated exhibitions encompassing nearly all of the highest achievements of Nicholaas Chiao.

Currently, the project includes more than ten shows, each of them on major themes universally important
for today's world. Exhibitions demonstrate a futurist approach to art, design, architecture, and technology & permit the viewer to draw himself ideas of a more innovative
tomorrow today. Project NICHOLAAS CHIAO supports the Universality of Law & Ethics, promoting universal ethics as the basis for Niertismus - the new, invented by the artist Religion, based on
the full correction of one's mistakes and failures time later, seen by Chiao as the foundation for a better life and a stable sustainable future.
