Nick Butcher (American, 20th Century): Minimalist Abstraction, 2005. Mixed media on cradled panel, unsigned.

Nick Butcher is best known in Chicago as a visual artist, particularly for the gorgeous screened posters he's made with his wife Nadine Nakanishi under the name Sonnenzimmer since 2006. Their artwork is marked by a charming sort of abstraction that mixes geometric shapes, text, and everyday objects into sparse collages, balancing precision with a decidedly homemade touch.

27.5 x 24 inches panel.

Acquired from the artist ca 2005; private collection, New England.
