Out of the blue Painting

Nat Connacher (b. 1961, Toronto, Canada) is an artist based in Stamford, Connecticut. Rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism, his paintings explore overlapping themes of personal perception, memories, and movement. His art centers on his keen ability to simplify and communicate complex ideas through raw emotional marks on paper. Each piece he creates invites us to reflect, discover, and embrace what’s true for us. Nat uses the motion of his whole body when creating his paint strokes, allowing the act to dictate the composition. Then, by removing portions of the medium with varying degrees of force, the essence of what motivated the act is exposed. This unique, spontaneous blending and removal of paint creates a bold abstract composition. The remaining texture is the residue of paint that will not wash away, like the underlying wisdom and strength we each possess - our authentic selves - that society often prefers us to conceal.
