PENTIMENTI is pleased to announce its representation of artist Dan Gunn, in collaboration with moniquemeloche in Chicago. Pentimenti is thrilled to announce the upcoming solo exhibition of Dan Gunn’s latest works, opening in April 2026.

Dan Gunn’s work draws on the visual language and cultural folklore of the American Midwest, merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary practices. Through intricate wooden draperies, paper collages, and ceramic sculptures, Dan explores human relationships, memory, and a deep sense of place both, past and present.

Known for his two-dimensional wooden draperies, Gunn begins each work by draping and studying fabric samples, envisioning them in wood. He carefully selects wood based on its historical and cultural resonance, meticulously assembling each piece. Gunn’s practice blurs the line between craft and fine art, resulting in artworks that are both conceptually rich and materially distinct.

“Dan Gunn's artwork has made a lasting impression on me since I was first introduced to it. His unique visual language, symbolic resonance, and deep sensitivity to materiality align seamlessly with Pentimenti’s program.  I’m delighted to partner with Dan and to bring his powerful artistic vision to the forefront of all art enthusiasts” - Christine Pfister
