NATE PACK EXHIBIT

April 9 – May 3

“Using familiar images from the world of sports, music, and childhood play, Nate Pack takes seemingly entertaining and juvenile images and permeates them with peculiar angles, bold use of color and a profound sense of form. His work is no child’s play. While focusing on the figures, Pack crams his arrangements with stylistic charm and pushes the concept of the narrative to a new whimsical dimension.” - Audrey Levy, Art Critic
