Nathan Abels, “Dénouement”, Acrylic on Panel, 36×48″I am pleased to announce that there is a new print of my work available now through POVevolving out of LA. I can personally attest to the quality of this print. It’s printed on thick, high-quality Crane Museo Max 365gsm paper using archival pigmented inks. Each print comes with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity – signed by yours truly. The image size is 7.5×7.5″ and there is a white border to allow for framing. There are only 50 in the edition, and they’re priced very affordably ($39) so get one while they last…

Haunting imagery permeates young painter’s exhibit at Rule Gallery
By Kyle MacMillan
Denver Post Fine Arts Critic
If you have not yet made it over to Rule Gallery to see my exhibition called Stills, it has been extended until the end of the month (January 31).
Mary Chandler of the Rocky Mountain News wrote a review of the show I have with Mark Sink on Friday December 19, saying:
“Finally, in the far back space, Rule has moved into the realm of quasi-photography, with a shift into anti-photography, in a way. “Still,” a selection of acrylic-on-panel paintings by Colorado-based artist Nathan Abels, includes some of the highly representational works he does of the contemporary landscape and its built features.
But there also are grayed- or browned-out scenes – View From a Train is the major example – that add a component of abstraction to a body of work by a young artist who has an eye for where and how we live and how we perceive our surroundings.
It adds to the mystery of what, in essence, is a trip through time and the evolution of technology, and vision.”

Here’s the press statement for my show – I will be showing with photographer Mark Sink.

Stills is an exhibition of recent works by artist Nathan Abels. The paintings presented by Abels capture vignettes of the human habitat. His artwork is influenced by a sense of place, the organization of both public and private space, and finding content in places that are typically overlooked.
