After almost 15 years of exclusive representation by the now defunct Flanders’ Gallery in Uptown, veteran local painter Bruce Nygren is teaming up with the Gallery at Fox Tax for his first post-Flanders solo exhibit of new works. Opening reception will be held on August 8th from 6 to 11 pm. The exhibit will be on display from August 8 through September

Painting full-time in Minneapolis for more than 35 years, Bruce Nygren has spent decades making the unbelievable believable. He wows viewers with spectacular scenes, from fully furnished houses floating over storm swept seas to giant turtles roaming the landscape with skyscrapers growing from their shells. For Nygren, imagination and curiosity about the world come together to create these fantastical pieces and transport the viewer to a whole new world.

When asked to describe his paintings, he explained “I’m not a Surrealist, so no explanation is needed. The impact for me and the viewer would be diluted and polluted by some symbolic or political explanation. I simply paint what and how I like. The subject for my fantasy paintings comes from curiosity as much as from my imagination.” This curiosity has led him to a lifelong career of creating canvas worlds where the impossible is not only possible, but somehow probable.

We hope to see you at the opening!
