Press Release

Perrotin Tokyo is pleased to present American Blues, the first solo exhibition in Japan by New York based artist Nick Doyle. Known best for sculptural wall works made from collaged denim, Doyle infiltrates the vocabulary of Americana to examine greed, excess, and toxic masculinity. American Blues introduces a new series of supersized denim works and macabre sculptures, foregrounding the dangers of nostalgia and the evolving relationship to consumerism. In conjunction with his solo show at the gallery, a solo presentation of Doyle’s work will also take place at Art Fair Tokyo 2024.

About the Artist

Nick Doyle (born 1983) is an American contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, mechanical installation, painting and video. Based in Brooklyn, he is best known for sculptural wall works in collaged denim and satirical, prop-like installations that address American identity, corporate culture and masculinity. His works often depict familiar objects—vending machines, cigarette packs, typewriters, urinals and roadside landscapes—rendered in denim and other culturally loaded materials.
