Augustus Nazzaro (b. born 1984, East Islip, NY, USA) is an American artist that lives works in Brooklyn, NY. Nazzaro makes virtuosic paintings that mimic the aesthetics of classified and potentially explosive media. His images of secret locations, hidden logos and masked documents are created with a laborious process of painting, sanding and repainting ad nauseam with precision detail. The effect is reminiscent of Xeroxed Zines, microfiche and infrared imaging, in other words, a visual language of subterfuge.
Augustus Nazzaro is most frequently exhibited in United States, but also had exhibitions in Germany, United Kingdom and elsewhere.
Other notable shows have been at White box, New York City, Ronchini Gallery, London, TOTAH Gallery, New York City.
