Nick Doyle's Denim Sculptures Critique American Mythology at Perrotin
Nick Doyle, an artist from Brooklyn, showcases 'Collective Hallucinations' at the Perrotin gallery, where he presents large wall sculptures crafted from collaged denim. These pieces delve into American mythology, incorporating symbols such as cacti, aviators, and landscapes bordered by brick, with denim serving as a metaphor for the nation’s complexities. Doyle started working with this material in 2018 after discovering discarded denim in his building's trash. The exhibition features a fortune teller's shop, tarot cards, and landscapes enclosed by chainlink fences. Additionally, Doyle plans to launch a kink bar named Human Resources and will exhibit paper collages and prints at Pace this fall. The exhibition is open until May 30 in New York.
