About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Nathan Neven’s "Santa Monica Beach" showcases his ability to blend contemporary realism with urban beauty. Painted in oil on canvas, this artwork transports the viewer to a sunlit afternoon along the famous Santa Monica coast. Neven’s brushstrokes masterfully capture the textures of the sand, water, and sky, inviting the viewer to step into the scene.
The color palette is an exquisite balance of warm oranges and pinks in the sky, contrasted with the cool blues of the water and soft greys in the distant mountains. Neven’s use of light is particularly effective, with the warm glow of the setting sun bathing the entire scene in a soft, golden hue. The shadows play off the architectural elements of the pier, giving the cityscape a dynamic and layered feel.
Neven’s approach to contemporary realism is evident in the meticulous attention to detail in the reflections on the water and the lively movement of people in the scene. The interplay of light, shadow, and color captures the energy and beauty of Santa Monica, creating a breathtaking portrayal of this iconic location.
Artist Bio:

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.

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.
