NATHAN ISAAC
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Nathan Isaac is an artist and designer based in Newport, Rhode Island. His storied, mid-century imbued collages present stirring imagery of the invisible and imagined with a connective energy. Experienced by many viewers as emotive and musical in tone and 20th-century in voice, the works are often based in memory and identity journeys, liminal and universal in theme.
Color and contrast feature boldly in primal, geometric, and organic forms. A mien of modern sculpture accentuates particular compositions along with elements of constructivism, cubism and a range of abstraction.
‘My imageries aim to evoke. Through a varied and intuitive process, I connect resonance and reminiscence.’
Periods of tutoring and formal study in art and music inform his practice, along with autodidactic methods. While working visually, Nathan experiences artistic resonance in a manner similar to when he is composing music or poetry.
‘With sound being visual for me, I find visual imagery to also be very aural.’
Each piece is expressively constructed from vintage and sustainably sourced materials, pigment-based inks, and natural adhesive. His work appears in private collections internationally, luxe interior designs, and is currently showing in galleries and design shops in the US and UK.
