About this Event
GR gallery is pleased to present Misfits, the first New York City solo exhibition by Daniel Nunez. The exhibition brings together a new body of work comprising paintings on canvas and drawings, offering an in-depth look at the artist’s most recent explorations.
In Misfits, Nunez examines the subtleties of everyday life through a lens of irony, freedom, and quiet rebellion. His works transform ordinary situations into spaces of creative tension, where personal expression emerges against the constraints of social norms. By amplifying the overlooked and the familiar, Nunez reveals the wild, instinctive energy that often lies beneath the surface of the commonplace.
The exhibition is dedicated to those who exist outside prescribed systems of conformity: individuals who choose independence over acceptance, who bend rules without crossing into transgression, and who embrace solitude as a form of freedom. Misfits celebrates the untamed spirit of artists and thinkers who follow their own path, resisting the pull of the mainstream in favor of authenticity and self-determination.
The opening reception will take place on Friday, January 16, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm (Exhibition Dates: January 17 – February 15). Press members may contact GR gallery for a private viewing and/or interviews with the artist before the exhibition officially starts. Visitors who wish to attend the opening reception may RSVP by contacting the gallery. The artist will participate in the opening reception.

Daniel Nuñez was born in Madrid, Spain in 1988, and is still based in Madrid where the artist has a studio. Trained as a designer and illustrator at the ESDIP and CES Schools in Madrid, instructed in plastic and visual arts under the tutelage of the artists: Antonio Lancho, Jorge Pedraza, Marta Maldonado and Isabel Álvarez. His artistic development is influenced by styles as varied as: Art Brut or abstract neo-expressionism, within the context of urban art. His methods of expression are not limited to paintings, but also include installations such as photographs and sculpture works. This experimentation on the support is the result of constant learning and an almost obsessive need to create. His personal objective is the development of his own language, the aim of which is to reflect on the traditional discourse of painting, creating a new narrative. Nuñez translates the various symbols that surround him into his own worldview and expresses them with his unique painting technique. Common everyday items that exist around us, such as shoes, plants, and telephones are transformed in Nunez’s canvas into something non-negligible, magically acquiring a physical presence.
