Nathan Wilson - Artist Statement

IMAGES | STATEMENT | RESUME

 

Over the past five years, Wilson has continued minimal landscape painting, building his body of representational work."I'm drawn to large expanses in nature. Yet at the same time, I'm fascinated by the intimacy of the still life. It's within this dichotomy that I concentrate. When I work from a still life, I work directly. In painting landscapes, I prefer to do studies from observation, using a variety of mediums, and then complete the work in my studio using oils."

"The true artist must preforce from time to time to the elemental big forms - Sky, Sea, Mountain, Plain - and those things pertaining thereto, to sort of re-true himself up, to recharge the battery. For these big forms have everything" John Marin

Nathan Wilson is currently showing at Etherington Fine Art in Tisbury, MA and Chase Gallery in Boston. He lives in Chilmark, MA and Waitsfield, VT.
