Exhibit – American Blues By Nick Doyle

Exhibit – Nick Doyle’s American Blues Exhibit In Tokyo.

ABOUT AMERICAN BLUES EXHIBIT BY NICK DOYLE

Perrotin Tokyo is playing host to a new solo exhibition by American artist Nick Doyle. Entitled American Blues, the show comprises of a series of large-scale works made of denim and macabre sculptures that examine how some of the US’ biggest industries have historically been tied to systems of oppression.

This is the sixth time Doyle has exhibited with Perrotin and his first within Japan. Emblematic of his career thus far, the Brooklyn-based artist continues to employ instantly recognizable forms of American iconography — Coca Cola vending machines, a US wall socket, slot machine keychains chained to car keys — using denim as his choice material to create supersized wall-mounted artworks that appear soft and alluring, but withold a dark understory.
