Nathaniel Mather – Conversation<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Artist Nathaniel Mather has created well thought-out scenarios, collaged from paint, paper, crayon, and wallpaper, with fearless abandon.<\/p>\n

There is an ease of movement through each compositions that leaves the viewer feeling like they are strolling along a sunny summer day.<\/p>\n

The artist says of his work: \u201cMy work was influenced in the early stages of my painting career by the design genius of Motherwell and the color and texture of Klee. As I developed my own style and voice started to combine several mediums including acrylic, oil pastel, paper and ink on canvas.”<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Mather – Daughters Love<\/p><\/div>\n

“I start each painting with color, line and texture and allow the markings to follow their own story, rearranging, adding and subtracting, layer by layer.”<\/p>\n

“The process mirrors how I experience life, bit by bit, day by day adding up to something I could not have imagined in the beginning of the process.”<\/p>\n

“The painting process also allows me to express emotions, allows for improvisation and taps into a place I cannot arrive to any other way.”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s the gift paintings have given me and I try to share that experience with the viewer.\u201d<\/p>\n
