Sometimes memory returns as a color, a pattern, or a shape that feels strangely familiar.

Nichole Gronvold Roller’s artwork reminds us that the ordinary has a remarkable way of staying with us.

Little Italy Days is in full swing! We’re reminded that the neighborhoods we live in and visit become part of who we are.

Some Things Soften features artwork by Nichole Gronvold Roller and Gwen Settle, two artists exploring what happens as we move through the world and are changed by it.

What’s familiar folds into the next experience. It carries bits of where we’ve been and makes room for where we’re going.

Gwen Settle’s paintings loosen the instinct to categorize. What matters is how it feels to be present with her art.

Nichole Gronvold Roller gathers the details of daily life: architecture, gardens, pattern, and design. These fragments are transformed into compositions that feel both familiar and newly discovered.

Some Things Soften is on exhibit until August 28th.

Nichole Gronvold Roller doesn’t overlook anything. Each fragment finds its place in her artwork until something entirely new begins to emerge.

At first glance, @gronvold_roller’s artwork appears carefully engineered. Then the flowers appear.

In Nichole Gronvold Roller's artwork, geometry never remains purely geometric.

A striped plane becomes a folded surface.
A decorative motif becomes architecture.

Her paintings emerge from the act of looking closely at the world and discovering that the categories separating design, ornament, or structure are far more porous than they appear.

Life rarely changes all at once. Edges wear down. New possibilities emerge.

BoxHeart Presents: Nichole Gronvold Roller and Gwen Settle. Some Things Soften

Some things soften. And in softening, they change how we move through the world.

Last days @thepaintingcenter Repost from @thepaintingcenter

Last days to view the solo exhibition of Nichole Gronvold Roller: “Days Folded” in the Project Room, and the solo exhibition of Julian Pozzi: “Hole in Mouth” in the Main Gallery. Exhibitions are on view from May 26 - June 20, 2026. All works are available for sale on Artsy @Artsy #artsy. Installation of works by Nichole Gronvold Roller.

From the Press Release - “Days Folded is a recent series of paintings by Nichole Gronvold Roller that responds to the discord between the beauty and tedium of daily routines. Moving through familiar spaces, the artist selects snippets of layered observations. Depicting shifting light, patterned wallpaper, and how textiles soften a room’s hard edges, Gronvold Roller reflects on the complexities of one’s impressions of lived-in spaces. Mindful of how the body navigates the constrictions and expansions of a home, the bending and folding of planes guide through these implied physical movements, just as memory condenses and unfolds our sense of home. Blending geometric abstraction with organic motifs, these works reference the Pattern and Decoration movement. @gronvold_roller

From the Press Release - “Julian Pozzi’s most recent work takes as its basis a practice of drawing into painting. His latest exhibition works within a framework of a structural abstraction built from a drawing and mark-making vocabulary developed over two decades. The 15 paintings in “Hole in Mouth” allude to a space occupied both by the body and its discontents. Many of the works depict a fragility verging on collapse, or else show what seems to be the moments after disaster. The mark-making can vary and travel widely; what might begin as an incremental and patient cross-hatching can quickly lose its way and end up at the other end of the painting, fully submerged in and/or transformed by surprising pools of rich color, frankly formal and celebrating themselves.” julian_pozzi taken in The Painting Center by @gronvold_roller
