As a non-binary, mixed-race artist, I work in a variety of media that reflects my mercurial nature, including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, book-making, and photography. My recent focus is on abstract drawing and painting as well as architecturally-inspired installations. I’m developing a visual language that transcends the tribal divisions that are so prevalent in our contemporary society. Which may include, but are not limited to, divisions based on geo-politics, economic situations, culture, race, creed, ethnicity, color, sexuality, gender, age, and more. In addition to these concerns are my varied interests in the unconscious to create works that point to our shared technological dystopia, beauty, and the unknown.

By exploring the spaces where modernism, ritual, cryptography, and mysticism commingle, I aim to create artworks that are fresh, yet oddly familiar and timeless. NATHAN DANILOWICZ (b. Pennsylvania, USA) earned their MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2007, and a BFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in 2002.
