DRISCOLL BABCOCK GALLERIES presents Don Nice: The Presence of Emblems, a selection
of works from the master chronicler of American popular culture objects. Nice’s new single
image paintings include images of beer cans, sneakers, Ray Bans and color crayons, exploring
the impressive and noteworthy markers of our collective material cultural. These works build
on his early abstract expressionist brushwork and coloration, carefully cultivated to articulate
his interest in quotidian elements of everyday life. In Nice’s paintings the everyday becomes
monumental, the disposable becomes iconic and American consumer culture is served up for
millennial eyes.
