About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Nathan Neven’s "Playa Del Ray" is a serene yet vibrant cityscape, painted in rich oils on canvas. This artwork offers a glimpse into the tranquility of the coastal neighborhood, where the calming blues of the sky and ocean meet the sharp architectural lines of the modern buildings. The piece is a perfect blend of nature and city living, brought to life in Neven’s signature contemporary realism style.
The artist's use of light is particularly striking in this work, where the warm sunlight reflects off the ocean and bathes the city in a soft glow. The cool, calming tones of the sea are contrasted with the more muted pastel hues of the buildings, creating a balanced composition. Neven’s skillful brushwork adds texture to the painting, highlighting the delicate flow of the waves and the smooth surfaces of the buildings, allowing the viewer to feel the depth and tranquility of the scene.
With a color palette that balances the cool blues and greens of the ocean with the muted warmth of the buildings, "Playa Del Ray" exudes a sense of peaceful nostalgia. The painting captures the essence of Southern California’s coastal beauty, making it an ideal addition to any collection that appreciates the quiet elegance of modern cityscapes.

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.
