In "Venus of the North" by Nathan Neven, a captivating blend of still life and wildlife unfolds within the confines of a surreal setting. The focal point of the piece is a room adorned with a striking pink wall, serving as a backdrop for a mesmerizing painting of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, suspended prominently in the center. Flanking the Venus painting are bookshelves, lending an air of intellect and curiosity to the scene.
Amidst this intriguing tableau, a white polar bear reclines gracefully upon a long orange couch, her majestic presence commanding attention. With head held high, she gazes outwards, her gaze seemingly meeting that of the viewer. Surrounding her are three adorable bear cubs, standing upon a soft blue carpet, their innocent curiosity mirroring that of their mother.
Adding to the surreal ambiance of the room is a roof-floor window, positioned on the left side, allowing ethereal light to cascade into the space, casting a dreamlike glow upon the scene. The juxtaposition of the majestic polar bear family against the backdrop of Venus's timeless beauty creates a sense of wonder and intrigue, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper symbolism at play.
Color plays a vital role in the composition, with hues of pink, orange, and blue harmoniously blending together to evoke a sense of warmth and serenity. Each brushstroke is imbued with a sense of purpose, contributing to the overall sense of enchantment that permeates the painting.
"Venus of the North" is a captivating masterpiece that transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers on a journey of exploration and introspection. Signed by the artist, this original artwork is ready to be displayed, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of surreal beauty. Available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, this exquisite painting captivates art enthusiasts and collectors alike with its unique blend of charm and mystique.
Artist Bio:
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.
