A native of Oregon, Nathan Ueno (b. 2000) is a multidisciplinary artist working with a range of materials including paint, pastels, markers, and colored pencils. His work is distinguished by the use of deliberate linework and bold, expressive color to symbolically interpret the world around him. Ueno’s artistic practice spans a wide array of subjects and influences, drawing inspiration from abstract art, architecture, portraiture, history, politics, geography, and nature. Through his dynamic visual language, he seeks to explore the intersections of personal experience and collective memory.
