Nathan Clarke
Clarke’s subject matter is deeply personal: his thoughts, experiences, and feelings boiled down to images in his head. He approaches painting without an agenda, moving away from meaning-making and letting his subconscious filter his practice.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Clarke’s style could be described as Post-Impressionism. It is representational, but of emotional exposure rather than photographic surface. Nathan Clarke is a self-taught artist residing in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Quiet is calming painting. It is a piece that reminds us to take time away from the chaos of life to be still, to unplug and sit still. When we meditate, we quiet the mind.
Everything in you that you don't need, you can let go of. You don't need loneliness for you couldn't possibly be alone. You don't need greed because you already have it all. You don't need doubt because you already know. The confusion is saying "I don't know" but the minute you are quiet. You find out that in truth you do know. For in you, you know. Plane after plane will open to you. I want to know who I really am
