Description

Peter Nadin (b. 1954 in Bromborough, near Liverpool) is a key figure of the downtown New York art scene of the late 1970s and 1980s. He’s a painter, sculptor, and poet whose work explores the practice of mark and image making as fundamental, evolutionary human functions.
“The Invisible World,” Nadin’s newest series, is where the rational world of ocular representation is reassembled into poetic form. For many years, Nadin has accompanied his artwork with poetry. Here, the poem is no longer separate from the painting, but is embedded in the paint and composition of the artwork. In this new series, Nadin is looking at the unseen—or maybe seeing the previously seen, now invisible, but indivisible from observation.
