About the Item

Available at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art. 'Still Life with Figs and Flowers' 1989 by Peter Nadin. Oil on canvas, 51 x 48 in. Geometric, still life painting with sculptural elements in pop colors of red, yellow, blue and green. Peter Nadin (b. 1954-), is a British-born, New York based, American artist born in Bromborough, England. Nadin’s principal medium throughout the 1980s was painting, although he also produced sculpture and published poetry, including “Poetry Room,” a one-year installation at American Fine Art Gallery. Although, his work from this time passed through a variety of styles, its primary focus is the representation of consciousness through painterly marks, a theme that Nadin returned to throughout his career. In 1992, Nadin ceased to exhibit his art and turned to farming. He acquired Old Field Farm, a farm dating to the early 19th century in Cornwallville, a hamlet in the northern Catskills of New York. After an absence of almost 20 years, Nadin held his first exhibition in New York in 2011 at Gavin Brown’s enterprise in the West Village. Peter Nadin's work has been seen in solo exhibitions at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven (1992), the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1989), Brooke Alexander Gallery, New York (1986), Le Nouveau Musée, Lyon (1981) and the Museum fur (Sub) Kultur, Berlin (1981). He has also been included in group exhibitions at the 1988 Venice Biennale XLII, Stadtische Kunsthalle Dusseldorf (1987), the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, Harvard University (1985), Kunstmuseum Bern (1985), the Walker Art Center (1983) and Westkunst Cologne (1981). Nadin's work is in public and private collections in the U.S. and Europe, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale Center for British Art, Rooseum, Stockholm, and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England, among others.
