This dynamic interplay invites viewers to continually reorient themselves, to see and be seen, making the experience of the artwork both immersive and reflective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large\"\u003eI work predominantly in Acrylics and Acrylic inks because of their abilities when added to water or water added to them, their different pigment weights, viscosities, saturations, I find experimentation and combinations are an infinite process for me. I achieve a freshness and a thickness to each of the materials in response to the water but ultimately serve the composition. I couple this with my formal training to keep the game going as long as I feel the muse. My painting can be rather energetic and I am not afraid to obscure a previous gesture, following the advice that ''nothing is precious in painting'' - I try my best not to fall in love with any contrived outcome but let the painting do the talking.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe artistry of Nathan Markham's painting is a dance into a kaleidoscope of chaos. The dance is heightened by his use of signal colors and obscured patterns that disrupt and harmonize simultaneously, creating a visually mesmerizing experience for the viewer. Experimentation, variety and chance are major factors in these works. For Nathan, water based media provides a captivating exploration of automatism and the connection between his expressive quality and the universality of color in liquids. His work delves into the raw essence of creation, embracing the unforgiving effect on the eyes from the emergent play of colors, and evidence of his responses leap onto the canvas. The viewer can contemplate an infinite play of high key color relationships and find something beneath the surface. He captures the essence of uninhibited thought and emotion, allowing his art to transcend his own boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNathan Markham is an American Painter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand Traveler, living and working in the Alentejo Region of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePortugal for 10 years.
