Everyday Weird with Nick Dahlen at Pamplemousse Gallery

Pamplemousse Gallery is back! Please join us for our grand reopening show, Everyday Weird, on March 14th 6-9pm featuring Minneapolis-based painter and illustrator, Nick Dahlen. Nick’s beautifully distorted works re-contextualize typically mundane objects and interactions that we often overlook. This solo exhibition will include both paintings and original screen-prints by Dahlen – giving collectors a chance to snag something for their home in a variety of mediums and price points. Plus, we have nearly doubled our exhibition space with our newly renovated downstairs gallery. This show is not one to miss!

About Nick Dahlen:
Nick Dahlen creates empathetically with his environment. While his influences (Kandinsky, Picasso, Andra Matin, Le Corbusier, Bill Evans, Chick Corea) live on in his bold mark-making and intelligent spontaneity, he is able to produce striking originality in his pieces with the scenes he chooses to create and the lines he uses to compose them. Each piece seems to be a structured recollection of a place or idea while still achieving a malleable, dream-like quality for the viewer. Nick’s work evokes a nostalgia for the daily. Through this, he hopes to help others in their own ability to translate complexities into a simple, elegant structure in any moment; To witness the beauty of how we occupy space, always existing perfectly in contrast to something else.
