About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Venice Beach" by Nathan Neven is a stunning oil on canvas piece that encapsulates the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Venice, California. The painting highlights the iconic Venice sign, a symbol of the area’s unique cultural and artistic identity. With an impeccable eye for detail, Neven presents a contemporary realism cityscape, where the intersection of urban life and coastal charm is beautifully rendered.
The bright, clear blue sky above contrasts with the bold red and yellow tones of the buildings, creating a lively and welcoming scene. Neven’s use of palm trees, often synonymous with California, adds a sense of tranquility and movement to the work, while the soft reflections on the street and cars ground the scene in a lived-in reality. The vibrant colours evoke the warmth of the California sun, while the cool shadows provide depth and dimension.
Through his use of color and texture, Neven not only brings the streets of Venice to life but also invites the viewer to experience the energetic yet laid-back vibe of this coastal city. The painting exudes a sense of freedom and possibility, capturing the spirit of Venice Beach with contemporary realism and a rich, dynamic colour palette.

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.
