Reyes | Finn in Detroit, MI presents the debut solo solo exhibition of artist Nick Doyle. Titled Paved Paradise, the artist investigates American iconography and masculine idealism.
Doyle uses the road trip—a pillar of American mythology—as a point of entry to his work in order to question the persistence of Rugged Individualism as the fabric of our national identity. Through a series of mechanical miniatures, theatrical scenery, and satirical prop-like denim works, the artist foregrounds the dangers of nostalgia and our evolving relationship to consumerism. Paved Paradise marks Doyle’s first solo exhibition in Reyes | Finn’s Detroit gallery space, following solo presentations with the gallery for Condo New York 2019 and NADA Miami 2019.
Paved Paradise is accompanied by a two-person exhibition by Mike Cloud and John Riepenhoff, on view from January 10–February 22, 2020 at Reyes Finn Gallery in Detroit, MI.
