BIO

Nat Meade (b. 1975, Greenfield, Massachusetts, Grew up in Portland, Oregon) deals with elevated personages and their frailty in his work. The scale of the paintings is small and unheroic, yet the statue like figures with their long beards and gaping mouths appear monumental. Eyeglasses, cigarettes or collars humanize the figures and attach them to our world. Meade carefully works the canvas surfaces with heavily layered, scraped and scumbly paint that is loaded with color.

 

He has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. He mounted a recent solo exhibition at the Honey Ramka Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. His work has been reviewed in publications, such as Art Forum, The Boston Globe, Juxtapoz Magazine, Maake Magazine, and Hyperallergic. Meade holds an MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, and a BFA from the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR. He attended the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture 2009, the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program in 2016, the Siena Art Institute in 2018, and will attend the James Castle House summer Residency in Boise, Idaho in summer 2021.
