"He let's his imagination, and a bit of childlike wonder, become gigantic. The gallery notes that the artist explores "everyday life through a lens of irony, freedom, and quiet rebellion," but I think almost more importantly is the ability to make the possibilty of art seem larger than life. Through a series of larger scale canvases and a smaller works, he presents works that feel full of spirit and almost free of inhibition."
""The four large-scale canvases that constitute the core of ' Misfits' maintain the fundamental elements of the artist's visual lexicon while radically reconfiguring compositional structure and spatial organization. These works advance a design freedom that is simultaneously forceful and controlled, achieving a balance between expressive intensity and formal restraint. As such, the series marks a decisive moment in Nuñez artistic evolution and possibly an initial step toward a more profound and transformative reorientation of his practice.""
Daniel Núñez presents Misfits, a New York City solo exhibition featuring new paintings on canvas and drawings. The works emphasize playfulness by enlarging small ideas and magnifying childlike imagination into monumental forms. Larger-scale canvases coexist with smaller pieces, producing spirited compositions that appear uninhibited yet composed. Four large-scale canvases restructure compositional and spatial organization while preserving Núñez's visual lexicon, advancing a design freedom that balances expressive intensity with formal restraint. The series signals a decisive artistic evolution that juxtaposes youthful energy and matured execution, inviting viewers to reconsider the purpose and possibilities of painting.
