Artist

Nathan Samuel Florence

NATHAN SAMUEL FLORENCE {[email protected]} is a Salt Lake City–based artist and filmmaker who paints in oil, often on woven brocade or printed cloth. He describes his paintings as narrative/figurative in that they often portray figures in some gesture or action that seems to spring from a story. He allows the patterns of the cloth to show through the paint to varying degrees which, he says, “relates to the patterns and textures that hold our lives together individually and bind us together culturally.” Nathan’s work can be seen at Modern West Fine Art and at www.nflorencefineart.com.
