✖ Via Robert Lange Studios Fine Art Gallery: “A Short Aria For Sash” by Nathan Durfee, oil on panel 48”x36”, 2010
About Nathan Durfee:
Nathan Durfee was born in the small town of Bethel, Vermont on June 26, 1983. Nathan’s artistic aspirations first showed themselves in the classroom: a self-described “doodler,” moments of boredom became sketches and designs in notebook margins. After spending his high school years in Nevada, he migrated South to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design to become a traditional portrait artist. As his current work boldly exhibits, Nathan instead decided to take his art in a unique, wholly personalized, direction. […]
His fanciful, often abstract, subjects share an organic connection with his informal school-day sketching. While working, he says, “I try to keep that wandering state of mind—as I start laying down brush strokes, a narrative begins to develop. I keep molding and polishing the story until I’m happy with it, and in most cases it’s something completely different than what I started out with.” (read more)
