The Nostalgic Heart

Jon Oulman Gallery, Minneapolis 1998

“A smart, well-fashioned exhibition of photocollages of Amsterdam, Cairo, Barcelona, Istanbul and other world cities. Painted and stained, these hybrid works evoke the pace, smell, and detail of each city. Far from a postcard tour, they convey more about memory, impression, and experience than about specific documentation.”

Mason Riddle, Saint Paul Pioneer Press

“What is surprising is how light and fresh the artist has kept his large-scaled, thoughtful images of cities. They join and separate with the fluidity of a dream. But even more than a dream, it might be thought that guides these images – thought and second thoughts, opinions, and hesitations. There is a sense of immediacy and qualification that is responsible for their emotional openness.”

G.E. Patterson, author of Tug and To and From

“...a poetic tribute to travel and memory by Minneapolis painter David Coggins.”

Mary Abbe, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“...captures the spirit of each location.”
