As a surf artist, my surf Art, wave paintings and other work revolves around, transcends, and invokes a sense of wonder within an ocean-nurtured lifestyle. Through the exploration of water landscapes, peoples faces and rural images I free the boundaries of their realistic attributes. Opening the dream-like qualities of moments revisited, thoughts recognized and landscapes explored. There are many ways that I portray a subject; I use muted themes, political sarcasm, and disguised messages, developed through the application of painting, chemical, and textual techniques. Enjoy viewing my most recent surf art series. Explanations for this surf art can be seen in my galleries.
"Much of my work reveals the relationships between energy, water, life and emotion and how those create and destroy our natural world, specifically the ocean. Using art to document the environmental struggles of the times, the works relay a message. Through surrealistic surf art symbolism, Byzantine inspired iconography, and hidden images, I invoke participation from the viewer with a visual, emotional, and cognitive experience."
"Through the use of acrylic on panel he loosely applies the paint trying only to control the content leaving the nature created waves of wood grain often exposed. The found object sculptures he creates openly reinvents the energy of ocean waves and the way they move, form and break. Nathan takes an optimistic point of view trying to imagine surf everywhere and paying respect to the idea that wood gave us surfing."
“Using an alternate idea or view was always a gift of mine, Sometimes." - Nathan
