Nathan Abels

The next exhibition I will be a part of opens September 5th at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design’s Steele Gallery, called “Paralleled III“. The West Gallery showcases images of contemporary American landscapes. Artworks depict images of sublime mountains, deserted roads, suburban landscapes, and the kitschy west.

The East Gallery is devoted to French Street Art, art that reacts to the urban streets of France. Artworks in this gallery include cardboard stencils, works on canvas, futuristic sculpture and vinyl banners.
French Street Artists:

* Jef Aerosol
* Supakitch
* Fafi
* 36 Recyclab
* Koralie
* Zevs

American Landscape Artists:

* Patti Hallock
* Nathan Abels
* Richard Wieth
* Daniel Sprick
* Christopher Leavery

Nathan Abels, “Island”, Graphite and Colored Pencil on Paper

I am pleased to announce that on May 20th at 7:30 pm EDT a small editioned print of my drawing titled “Island” will be available for purchase for no more than $25 through the wonderful Tiny Showcase. I would recommend visiting their web site and signing up for their email list - they will write you a reminder the afternoon that my print goes up for sale. I am very excited about working with them. I will be in good company too -Tiny Showcase has printed editions of works by notable contemporary artists like Josh Keyes, and Marci Washington, and has even been featured in Oprah magazine as well as numerous art and design blogs.

This is a great and very affordable way to start your contemporary art collection and donate to a good cause. Tiny Showcase donates a percentage of the proceeds to a charity of the artist’s choice - in my case I will be donating to the Alta Vista Center for Autism here in Denver, where my wife works. Austim rates are soaring nationwide, currently affecting one in every 150 children in the US. This is a organization and cause I feel strongly about and by purchasing my print from Tiny Showcase, you will be donating to help children with autism that attend the Alta Vista Center from all over the Front Range here in Colorado.

edit: The print has SOLD OUT!

If you are interested in this drawing, several of my other drawings are still available and can be viewed here
