15 GREENBENCHMONTHLY.COM Local Artist Spotlight: Nathan Beard Confluence of Origins is a continuation of local artist, Nathan Beard’s Exit Music series. In this series, Nathan uses masking tape as a dry resist representing conscious deliberation or will. The serpentine gesture is meant to evoke the march of time and infinity, and is a visual metaphor for the energies at work forming and reforming all we see and experience. His paintings are personal meditations upon interconnectedness, the power derived through transformation and the nature of consciousness. Exit Music #53 (Awaken) 2016 acrylic on shaped panel 82.5” x 48” Nathan maintains a studio here in St. Pete where he also lives with his wife and daughter in the Greater Woodlawn neighborhood. Locally, his work is represented by ARTicles Art Gallery and Custom Framing located at 1445 Central Ave, 33705. Visit Nathan’s solo exhibit opening at the Highlands Museum of the Arts in Sebring, FL on February 10, on view through the end of March; and a solo-exhibit at Gallery 501, Howard W. Blake School of the Arts in Tampa this coming May.
