David Nott Brings His Tufted “Color Riddle” Aesthetic to LG Gallery+ Screens
A practice built on touch is taking an unexpected new form on screen. David Nott, the artist behind the meticulously tufted “Color Riddle” series, has partnered with LG Gallery+ to release a new work, “COLOR RIDDLE VI” (2026), for the platform’s Artist Collaboration Shelf.
LG Gallery+ is a visual curation service within LG Electronics that allows users to browse and display artworks and images on compatible LG screens at home or in the office. The platform’s library includes more than 5,000 curated images, organized through its LG Gallery+ Shelves interface. In previous collaborations, LG Gallery+ has worked with institutions including the National Gallery of Art in London, making selections from the museum’s permanent collection available through a dedicated Shelf.
Nott’s contribution, created to mark the collaboration, extends the logic of his “Color Riddle” series, which is known for its precise geometry and a heightened attention to surface. While the works are physically tufted, their impact hinges on the way color and shape appear to shift as the viewer’s eye moves across the composition.
“‘Color Riddle VI’ continues my ongoing exploration of color as both structure and illusion,” Nott said in a statement shared by LG Gallery+. “The piece plays with contrast and layering to create a sense of movement and visual tension which is almost like a puzzle the viewer slowly unpacks.” He added that the work grew out of experiments with how color interactions change with scale and texture, and how those shifts register differently when the piece is encountered digitally versus in person.
The partnership also reflects the way Nott has built an audience around process. Across his social media platforms, where he frequently breaks down how he executes his signature tufted works, he has a combined following of just over 880,000. That visibility has helped position him for collaborations that sit at the intersection of art, fashion, and entertainment: he has previously worked with Louis Vuitton at Art Basel and partnered with high-profile figures including Mr. Beast and Justin Bieber.
For Nott, the appeal of LG Gallery+ is less about novelty than about translation: what happens when a practice rooted in texture is rendered through pixels. “I get approached for lots of projects, and I only do these that are genuinely exciting to me,” he said. “The platform offers a new way for art to live in people’s homes — not as a static object, but as something immersive and adaptable to different spaces.”
He also emphasized the importance of fidelity when a work’s meaning depends on subtle shifts in hue and surface. Nott praised LG Gallery+ for maintaining “color accuracy, detail, and presence,” qualities he described as essential for work grounded in texture and tone.
As more artists experiment with how their work circulates beyond the gallery wall, collaborations like this one point to a growing category of domestic display: art encountered not only as an object to own, but as an image to live with — calibrated for the glow of a screen while still carrying the logic of the hand.
