NELSON DE LA NUEZ


The Drang Gallery is excited to launch a collection of works by Nelson De La Nuez, one of the most sought-after contemporary Pop Artists practicing today. His striking, vivid mixed media artwork borrows motifs and messages from the language of wealth, power, fame and excess, casting a narrative about modern society. 

Known to many as The King of Pop Art®, De La Nuez is an innate iconoclast, elevating themes from commerce, pop culture, advertising, and branding to provide commentary on our culture – showing us that the entire world is for sale – in a manner that is both ironic and aspirational.

 

Join us this bank holiday in our Padstow gallery for the much-anticipated launch of this impressive collection of works on paper.

Demonstrating that art can be both humorous and intellectual, De La Nuez first gained recognition in the 1980’s for his unique Pop Art style, using familiar imagery from popular board games, as well as newspaper articles and vintage advertisements. Over the course of his career, his voice has continued to evolve to provide subtle commentary on the trappings of fame and luxury in a way that continues to feel relevant today.

De La Nuez was selected by Warner Bros. as an official artist to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the film, The Wizard of Oz. He has also been commissioned by high-profile brands to create bespoke installations including Hermes and Kim Kardashian’s ShoeDazzle. His work is exhibited regularly at top-tier art shows including Art Basel Miami, Art Central Hong Kong, Context and Art Market Hamptons, and is part of numerous private collections.
