Andy King
A Synaptic Disconnect

About the Item

From Gallatin, TN, I forged a deep connection with visual art at an early age. I have always drawn and created. I continued my passion throughout my schooling. In college, at Sewanee, I found a love for teaching art as well. I have been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2004 and in the Nashville are since 2005. Early on, teaching posed a creative block for me. I was emotionally and creatively drained after putting most of my creative energies into others' artworks. After a long break, I began creating my own work consistently again a few years ago. My art has become varied and broad in its approach as a result of wanting to teach new things. I continue to expand my abilities to teach different processes to my students. Naturally, these tangents play into my own artwork as I discover and play with new techniques and art forms. But what remains constant is a fascination with texture, stark value contrasts, and a reverence for the power of the individual mark as it all plays together to explore the human endeavor, and histories both personal and universal. I go back and forth in a tenuous dance between order and chaos in my works in order to live in the space between. My artwork is not clean and graphic. I find beauty and catharsis in the raw and visceral. I embrace the beautiful aspects of things not usually seen as beautiful.

    Artist Nathaniel Covington constructs bold, colorfully sculpted papier-mâché monster masks and large, pop art creature paintings. His art pieces have simple lines, set against solid color backgrounds. For Nathaniel, the process starts with rough sketches on paper, wood, skateboards - just about anything he can draw on, allowing him the vision to finalize his art. The making of masks started about 3 years ago and he fell in love with the process. It’s an opportunity to bring to life all the “Creatures” and wildly funny things living in my head. He says, "I’d like the art pieces that I make to evoke some sort of emotion when they are seen.” He’s predominately influenced by 1969’s-1980’s “Creature Feature Films”, horror soundtracks, Sci-Fi magazines, plus a dash of Ed Roth.
