NATHAN PADDISON
“I am very much influenced by my own personal experiences, often putting a blank canvas before me and seeing which story it wants to tell.
Nathan Paddison’s paintings resonate with a deeply personal narrative, drawn from a tumultuous history. His work is characterized by gestural marks and an enigmatic language uniquely his own, fostering an expressionistic dialogue on canvas. Nathan’s bold lines and palette choices are seamlessly integrated with the physicality and urgency of his artistic process. The emergence of powerful, impulsive forms in his art suggests a compulsion rather than a mere artistic task.
Nathan employs a diverse array of mediums including acrylics, enamel, fabric, newspaper, markers, and pastels. He firmly believes that confining oneself to a single medium can limit the artistic journey. Each idea he explores materializes in its own distinctive style, unfolding unpredictably as it takes on a life of its own.
In Nathan Paddison’s artistic practice, the result remains unknown until it materializes, breathing life into his vision and enriching the narrative woven through his work.
