Pace Prints will present ‘Nick Doyle: Lonely but Free I’ll be Found’ at its Main Gallery in New York from October 15 through November 14, 2026. The exhibition is scheduled for the gallery’s location at 536 West 22nd Street, where Pace Prints operates as a publisher and gallery for fine-art prints and artist editions.
The announcement provides the exhibition title, dates and venue but does not specify the number of works, medium or a curatorial theme for the presentation. A fall-preview newsletter from Pace Prints includes an image identified as ‘The Price of Ascension’ (detail), Nick Doyle, 2026, photographed by Garrett Carroll. The available material does not establish whether that work represents the full scope of the exhibition.
Doyle, born in 1983, lives and works in Brooklyn. According to his Pace Prints biography, he is best known for sculptural wall works made from collaged denim. His practice uses the visual language of Americana to examine greed, excess and toxic masculinity, while engaging with ideas surrounding Manifest Destiny, consumerism and American colonialism.
The artist’s work frequently draws on the road trip as a point of entry into American mythology and the persistence of Rugged Individualism. Pace Prints describes his output as spanning mechanical miniatures, theatrical scenery and satirical, prop-like denim works. Recurring imagery—including vending machines, typewriters and cigarette packs—has been linked by the gallery to questions about nostalgia, media and global trade systems.
The gallery also identifies indigo and cotton among the materials that carry cultural significance in Doyle’s work. Rather than treating those materials as neutral supports, its biography says he uses them to reflect on and critique social and political agendas in contemporary life and visual culture. No further statement about the relationship between these concerns and ‘Lonely but Free I’ll be Found’ has been published in the supplied announcement.
Doyle’s recent institutional history includes the 2023 solo museum exhibition ‘Old Roads and Broken Records’, curated by Joey Yates at KMAC Contemporary Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. He holds an MFA from Hunter College and is represented by Perrotin. Pace Prints’ fall programme separately lists exhibitions by Gamaliel Rodríguez, from September 10 to October 10, and Adam Pendleton, from November 19 to December 19; both are scheduled for the same Main Gallery at 536 West 22nd Street.
