KAREL DICKER: TAMED FLOWERS

Nino Mier Gallery is pleased to present tamed flowers by Dutch artist Karel Dicker.

June 27 – August 8, 2025

For his first presentation with the gallery, the artist invites viewers into an outside world of secret gardens and unfolding landscapes. Karel Dicker unveils the quiet splendor hidden within the everyday, capturing the delicate life that unfolds in the tapestry of daily existence. 

His handcrafted Baroque frames—ornate and deliberate—cradle these fleeting moments, elevating the mundane to the majestic. Each frame, a bespoke dedication, imbues his work with a distinct character, as if lovingly revealing: here is something worthy of reverence.

In his paintings, time stands still. These are moments suspended, crystallized, yet brimming with the echoes of human presence. Though no figures appear on the canvas, the objects and scenes Dicker portrays are infused with purpose. They speak volumes, narrating stories and life’s quiet tales.

His art is a masterful exploration and contemplative study of materials and technique, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, eternal, framed in timeless quiet grandeur.
