About the Item
In this contemporary surrealist painting Nathan Neven juxtaposes a familiar city scene and classic underground entrance with the unusual presence of apes. This charming dream-like scene is adorned with additional abstract splashes of paint throughout, and vibrant washes in the background. The whimsically strange natural components in this piece are typical of the artist's playful and innovative style. This piece is painted of stretched canvas with black painted edges, ready to be hung.
Nathan Neven , born in 1979 and living in Ireland for many years.His childhood passions were growing, drawing and painting everything around him.
With His strong desire to make his dream come true to become full- time painting artist, He decided to move to Paris, one of the world capitals of Arts and Cultures, attended some short courses in Art to enrich his skills and experiences. Nathan’s art captures the moments of his dream, his living in Europe and his travel experience. He is inspired by everything around that touches his soul — the joy and beauty of life itself, the beauty of nature and his surroundings.
His influences include a diverse group of impressionist artists and abstractionism. He uses the play of light, texture, color and shape and the interesting juxtapositions in our everyday lives.
« I believe in the power of art. For me, each piece of art has a soul and possesses the ability to affect people’s lives. Everyday I feels blessed to be able to create his art. My style has centered upon color relationships, the presence of light, and a sense of energy. »

Nathan Neven
Humpback whales flying over the streets of New York City and a house packed with pink flamingos are the types of fantastical imagery one can find in the paintings by Irish artist Nathan Neven. Inspired by the isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, his recent work blends art styles and ecosystems to create lighthearted juxtapositions full of joy and teeming with life.
Neven knew at a young age that he wanted to become an artist. He spent much of his youth in Ireland, drawing and painting what he observed. Over time, and largely self-taught, he developed a mix of realist and abstract styles. He later moved to Paris in pursuit of improving his drawing and painting skills in a formal setting. He also spent time traveling in Europe, which greatly influenced his depictions of interiors and cityscapes, which feel alive with color and detail even without the wildlife settling in.
Neven has had multiple solo shows in Japan as well as group shows in the United Kingdom, France and Ireland. Neven exhibited his work in France at the Galerie De La Vague à l’Art in La Baule in 2017 and the Galerie Cantele in Honfleur in 2018. The Montenotte Hotel in Cork, Ireland, invited Neven to be its 2022-23 Artist-in-Residence, which, associated with the Gallery Kinsale, resulted in Neven’s “Wild Life Invited” exhibition of animal portraits.
