The California based artist will be making an appearance for the opening night reception on November 1 from 6-9pm. The club is private, but open to the public for gallery viewing until 5pm daily. The Nov 1st reception and show requires an invite or RSVP. Please contact DTR gallery if you would like to attend or if you are media/press to cover the event.

The show's title reflects the fact that the artist came to the US from Havana, Cuba at the age of 7 with his family, literally with nothing and revealed his talents over time, meticulously perfecting his craft. He has always had an incredibly strong work ethic. The humble beginnings of a now very successful artist have kept him grounded and always creating and reinventing. The irony is what he became well known for is because of what he came to know best; American culture, pop culture, advertising, etc..

The exhibition will display a comprehensive variety of De La Nuez's artwork including mixed media sketches, originals on canvas and sculptures including his renowned realistic looking donuts that have become best sellers for the galleries. He has had waiting lists up to 3 months for the donuts.

Nelson De La Nuez's mixed-media art comments on the state of our society in a way that's equal parts satire and aspiration. Always evolving, he is a master at embedding deeper meaning into familiar visual references, updating his themes to reflect the modern culture of society today.

Over the course of his career, his voice has continued to evolve to provide a subtle and fun commentary on luxury, wealth and pop culture in a way that remains timeless and relevant. Taking inspiration from board games, newspapers, vintage ads and other visual references that speak to upward mobility, he demonstrates that art can be both humorous and intellectual at the same time. There is an air of accessibility and playfulness along with a sophistication to his work that has, in turn, led to his significant popularity, loyal collectors and soaring values throughout the years.

De La Nuez's work makes appearances at the likes of the prestigious Art Basel Miami, Hong Kong and Hamptons shows to name a few. His branded collections with prominent home, lifestyle and fashion names, such as Corum Swiss watches, sold out in Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and more. His art hangs in prominent corporate and private collections.

He and his artwork have been featured in publications such as Veranda; House Beautiful, Miami Living Magazine; Modern Luxury Interiors Magazine; Manhattan Magazine, Las Vegas, Haute Residence; Angeleno, The New York Observer, VUE New Jersey, Elevated Home & Design Magazine, Aspen Magazine, Aspen's Gallery Guide, Dan's Papers, C California Style and Paris Match

DTR Modern Galleries is the artist's main gallery; "We have been proud to feature De La Nuez in all 5 locations in Palm Beach, Boston, Nantucket, New York and Washington, D.C. His work has become so popular with collectors that he can barely keep up with the constant flow of orders and inventory required. We keep him very busy. It's a great problem for all of us," stated DTR's owner, Ted Vassilev.

De La Nuez is currently working with a publisher on a comprehensive book project of his career spanning nearly 4 decades, featuring articles contributed by critics and curators from Art in America, Art News and Art Forum, to be tentatively published by Scala Art Publishers in 2024.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
