Fall Show 2025 | High Point
In this vibrant fall presentation, Daniel Zimmerman unveils a summer’s worth of garden-inspired paintings, vivid parrot portraits, and whimsical topiary works—each piece radiating with the heat, color, and movement of the season in which it was created. Installed salon-style across a richly layered gallery wall, the collection transforms the space into an immersive world of flourishing foliage and expressive brushwork.
At the center of the room sits Zimmerman’s massive working paint palette, layered with months of thick, sculptural paint buildup. This living artifact of the studio reveals the physical dialogue between artist and material—every scrape, mound, and color mix offering insight into the labor, experimentation, and spontaneity behind the surrounding paintings. It anchors the exhibition with a raw, tactile presence that contrasts beautifully with the refined salon-like environment.
Throughout the space, lush garden scenes bloom in dense textures and saturated hues, echoing the vitality of midsummer growth. Parrots appear in flashes of tropical color, their lively presence adding rhythm and personality to the walls. Topiary-inspired compositions bring sculptural elegance to the mix, balancing the wildness of natural forms with playful structure.
The arrangement—an eclectic constellation of frames, scales, and surfaces—creates the feeling of an ornate yet contemporary salon, where classical touches such as the decorative furniture and figurative sculpture meet the exuberance of Zimmerman’s modern palette. Large centerpiece canvases anchor the space, while smaller works cluster around them like bright fragments of a living garden.
This fall showcase preserves the warmth and abundance of summer, inviting viewers to wander through an environment that feels both cultivated and untamed. Zimmerman’s summer-painted gardens, parrots, and topiaries collectively celebrate a season of growth long after the sun has shifted.
