Artist Statement
“Welcome to the exhibit, "A real person standing in a cartoon room”, which is a phrase that runs through my head all the time and is autobiographical to me.  The proof of this is evidenced here in the form of a large series of artworks I’ve created on canvas squares but are comprised of everyday scraps of papers and textures mixed with my drawings and paint applications which reflect everyday chance and the world around me.”
-Nick Zaremba

About Nick Zaremba
Born in 1979, Nick Zaremba works as a multimedia artist based in Boston, Massachusetts.

His youthful yet conceptual artwork ranges from small drawings and prints to site specific 3D installations and large scale murals.
When making work, Zaremba combines influences from his youth, skateboarding, DIY ideology, fascination with nature and graffiti with the topics of color, space, time, psychology, semiotics, childhood, and symbolism.

Since 2001 Nick has exhibited on the East Coast of the U.S. as well as globally from Hong Kong to Montreal. Most notably, he was part of a two-person exhibition at Gladstone Gallery in New York, as well as featured as one of the “40 Artists You Should Know” in the nationally juried publication; New American Painters.

Zaremba’s work has been acquired by prestigious collections, including Takashi Murakami’s Superflat Collection - From Shohaku and Rosanjin to Anselm Kiefer- which was shown at the Yokahama Museum of Art in Japan in 2016.

As well as his fine art, Nick Zaremba’s commercial clients have included Converse, Toy2R, Neiman Marcus, Pepsi, and Vans.

Artist’s Statement

“This series of illustrations is based on a sequence of events that unfolded in my life. A falling anvil, typically only seen in old cartoons, is a visual shorthand for some sort of sudden doom. In its animated context, the gag is humorous because of its absurdity. You don’t often see an Acme anvil being pushed off a cliff onto an unsuspecting villainous coyote after all. Outside of the television, in our reality, anvils are falling every minute in the form of life-altering outcomes. A breakup. A mistake. A regret. A death. These are moments that we can’t simply wobble away from with a bump on the head and stars in our eyes. They stick with us, and change our perspective, for better or for worse. They are moments that we will replay in our minds over and over. We labor over the details. The before. The after. We lose ourselves in the delusion of should-have, would-have, could-haves. If only we had done such-and-such. If only we had said so-and-so. Stuck on a thought. Stuck in a moment. My anvil was the death of my father. It hit me on a beautiful, unseasonably warm morning in late May. Not a cloud in the sky. Not a worry in the world. Crushed. How long had I been distracted? How often did I lose touch with the things that mattered most? What was our last conversation? I still have so much to say. This is a reflection. A recollection. A preservation of every shared moment, both mundane and extraordinary. This is the void. The desperate search for answers. Reality. This is not goodbye. This is rebirth, and connection of a new kind. This is healing. This is beautiful. I look up and there’s a clear blue sky. You are all I see.”
- Matthew Zaremba, September 2016
