JULY 25–AUGUST 23, 2025
Nicholas Herrera’s work is a raw and deeply personal exploration of devotion, survival, and artistic instinct. Rooted in the traditions and struggles of his northern New Mexico homeland, Herrera’s work fuses folk art with an unflinching contemporary lens. His paintings and metal sculptures pulse with intense emotion, from religious iconography to social critique, reflecting both the weight of history and the realities of modern life. A self-taught artist who has carved his own path from hardship to national acclaim, Herrera’s work embodies resilience, ingenuity, and an unwavering commitment to truth. His ability to transform discarded materials into art mirrors his own transformation—turning struggle into strength, and experience into powerful visual narratives. Herrera’s artwork is a testament to an artist who has never followed trends, only the deep pull of his own spirit.
