Seriously, I'm already wishing for fall because of this. Probably the coldest spring I can ever remember and then a 50-degree jump in a week. It's sweltering, I'm cranky, but I have good news. Shows, publications, and even music. Here's the rundown:<br /><br />On June 21st I will be showing a few drawings at the Stage 773 Solstice Art Exhibit. It's a fundraiser that's part of a 2-week long event. The art exhibit is one-day only, and I'll also have some merchandise there for sale, too - t-shirts, drawings, postcards, and even magnets. There's a little info about the <a href="http://www.stage773.com/showDetail.aspx?uniqshow=85">whole deal here</a>, but not much on the art exhibit as of yet. Stay tuned.<br /><br />On July 8th I will be having a two-person show with <a href="http://www.morgan-sims.com/Morgan_Sims/Home.html">Morgan Sims</a> at the <a href="http://themilkfactorygallery.com/">Milk Factory</a>. I believe the opening will be from 6 - 9 p.m. Morgan is an amazing artist, the Milk Factory is a super venue - it's gonna be a great night, so come enjoy it with us.<br /><br />From July 29th - 31st, I will have some work in an exhibit curated by Emma Stein during the <a href="http://milwaukeeavenueartsfestival.org/">Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival</a>. Once I have more information on the location and hours I will post it.<br /><br />In publication news, I will have a drawing in one of the next two volumes of <a href="http://www.studiovisitmagazine.com/">Studio Visit</a> magazine. I will also have a drawing included in the first issue of <a href="http://blog.brooklynartproject.com/2011/05/100-artists-selected-for-brooklyn-art-project-quarterly-1/">Brooklyn Art Project Quarterly</a>. There are no dates set for release yet, but as soon as they are available I will be posting the links.<br /><br />And, last, but certainly not least, English rock band <a href="http://luxlisbon.com/">Lux Lisbon</a> have released their album, "Your heart is a weapon the size of your fist." I've contributed artwork for the album, and I must say, it's a bit of a dream come true seeing my work used for album art. When I was a kid I thought it'd be pretty damn cool to see that happen, and well, there it is. Proceeds of the album go to MIND - a mental health charity, which is a great cause worth supporting. You can "like" the band on their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/luxlisbonmusic">facebook page</a> - give 'em a listen, they're gonna be the next big thing. And buy that album! It's sure to be a collector's item someday.<br /><br />Oof...okay, I think I'm done with all the news. I've cooled down a bit, and I'm looking to stay that way. Until next time, my friends.<br />hugs,<br />-NathanNathan Vernauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04110689932482744409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007737835536031520.post-13031614993568212522011-04-23T12:22:00.000-07:002011-04-23T12:35:26.377-07:00Spring timeHello friends,<br /><br />It is spring now, and I have a few updates. First off, I will be having some of my work shown at <a href="http://robertbillscontemporary.com/home/">Robert Bills Contemporary</a>'s booth at the <a href="http://www.nextartfair.com/">NEXT Art Fair</a>. Check it out if you can - it's going on April 29th - May 2nd at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, IL.<br /><br />I was part of a great group show at Robert Bills Contemporary in February, and we got some great reviews. You can read one from <a href="http://www.artslant.com/chi/articles/show/21726">ArtSlant</a> and one from the <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-02-25/entertainment/ct-ott-0225-galleries-review-20110225_1_paper-bag-redefines-portraits">Chicago Tribune</a>.<br /><br />It looks like I may be showing some work in a couple other art festivals later this summer, as well. I will have more info on those as they come to me.<br /><br />And last, but not least, I've put up some work that I've made since the new year started. You can find that <a href="http://www.brooklynartproject.com/photo/albums/2011-winter-spring">right here</a>.<br /><br />Enjoy the weather,<br />-NathanNathan Vernauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04110689932482744409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007737835536031520.post-9951109452061983492011-01-13T08:27:00.001-08:002011-01-13T09:22:26.813-08:00This is a new year.<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvjZGnQOBqHgnRDnkkBubphri3JCuPm5IWu_RB8rUcTZ8OKFO4myvCV2SaEdk-K7HyBDdEZtkqlgWQ4Y8bL_Ti0V2RvgnCttf-VZ8QeEcPL7NSbcvaD6RBZ9enPD_jZ32uWIhj6v_8Tc/s1600/wait+until+it+gets+worse+%25281024%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvjZGnQOBqHgnRDnkkBubphri3JCuPm5IWu_RB8rUcTZ8OKFO4myvCV2SaEdk-K7HyBDdEZtkqlgWQ4Y8bL_Ti0V2RvgnCttf-VZ8QeEcPL7NSbcvaD6RBZ9enPD_jZ32uWIhj6v_8Tc/s400/wait+until+it+gets+worse+%25281024%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561721764799279682" border="0" /></a>"Wait until it gets worse," 2010<br />color pencil, paper, & string on paper; 19"x25"<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hello everyone, and a happy new year to you. I have some good news to start the new year - I will be in some group shows in the next couple months and a solo show in the not-so-distant future.<br /><br />First off, I will be in a group show at <a href="http://www.ohnodoom.com/index.html">OhNo!Doom Gallery</a> in February. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, February 5th from 6 to 10 p.m. It will be up until February 26th. Do check it out if you can!<br /><br />Also in February I will be in another group show at <a href="http://robertbillscontemporary.com/home/">Robert Bills Contemporary</a>. There will be an opening reception for that on Saturday, February 12th from 5 to 8 p.m. and it will be up until March 15th. The other artists included are Tiphanie Babinet and <a href="http://www.stevenfrost.com/">Steve Frost</a> - it is going to be a great show, please stop by!<br /><br />I'm also involved with an artist's book project at the <a href="http://thepapercrane.com/2010/12/08/beards-and-books-book-binding-class-at-the-paper-crane/">Paper Crane</a>. There will be an opening reception for that exhibit on Saturday, March 12th from 5 to 8 p.m. The Paper Crane is run by two awesome ladies, Dee & Leslie. They blog, they put on shows, and they teach classes and they're going to run this town one day - so watch out! I'm excited to say I will also be having a solo show at their space in September. It's a ways off, but it's going to be here sooner than I think. I'll have more details when it's closer to autumn.<br /><br />And last, but not least, here is <a href="http://www.brooklynartproject.com/photo/albums/2010-fall-winter">a link to some new work</a>. It is from this past fall & early winter, my first 5 months living in Chicago. Who knows, you may see some of it somewhere soon.

Good things are happening, and I think some great stuff may be just around the corner. A few weeks ago I met Ariel from <a href="http://www.fillintheblankgallery.com/about/">Fill-in-the-Blank Gallery</a>, and after a conversation, a review, and numerous e-mails back and forth, I have my first interview up on their website. <a href="http://www.fillintheblankgallery.com/interviews/2010/10/3/nathan-vernau.html">You can see it here</a>.<br /><br />Also, my work is included in New American Paintings No. 89, which is the Midwest Edition. I was fortunate enough to have my drawing "Timing is everything" used for the cover. Quite appropriate, I think. You can <a href="http://www.newamericanpaintings.com/currentissue.html">order that here</a>.<br /><br />I've been drawing away to start off my time in Chicago, and with some good fortune I will be able to show them to you all soon enough. You can always take a peak at what I'm doing, <a href="http://www.brooklynartproject.com/photo/album/listForOwner?screenName=1irkn4bz9x9j5">via the galleries</a>, and be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.nathanvernau.com/">front page</a> as well.Nathan Vernauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04110689932482744409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007737835536031520.post-83070664875218977032010-06-25T13:38:00.000-07:002010-06-25T13:39:39.860-07:00spring & summer drawingshey hey, here are some things i've been working on lately. i've been looking at a lot of francis bacon lately. good stuff. check it out: <a href="http://www.brooklynartproject.com/photo/albums/spring-into-summer-2010">here</a>.Nathan Vernauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04110689932482744409noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007737835536031520.post-54161792112880607082010-05-04T19:52:00.000-07:002010-05-04T20:07:48.622-07:00pyramids<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC3cuwJFCGVBt_ZLRGsbl7CQrMrcY9yoplTC68tkGP5azpUXpw1lreTFH2519Mvos1SM1decYMzVdrRb6OEKmmqVZRfq81lcZ-V7737kg2xl-o3pagbG-Dw9I4oiTzra-kxFvFWXRFVRY/s1600/try+(casio+1024).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC3cuwJFCGVBt_ZLRGsbl7CQrMrcY9yoplTC68tkGP5azpUXpw1lreTFH2519Mvos1SM1decYMzVdrRb6OEKmmqVZRfq81lcZ-V7737kg2xl-o3pagbG-Dw9I4oiTzra-kxFvFWXRFVRY/s400/try+(casio+1024).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467617110735244450" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">"try."</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For images <a href="http://www.brooklynartproject.com/photo/albums/pyramids-1">click here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here are some drawings from March that take a triangular format.

As an inhibited person my artwork often ends up expressing my thoughts visually much more than I do verbally. Most recently the work has been referencing my transition out of graduate school and into reality. As someone who tends to procrastinate, trying to find footing for the next step in life has been a challenge. Looking through the work one may notice a sequence arranging a narrative. By animating my body language, inserting carefully composed symbols, and utilizing text I create a visual conversation with myself and the viewer. I suspect the feelings and emotions I depict are universal, but they come from specific, personal experiences.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Blue's and red's create an intense vibrancy in the color, both attracting attention and visually disrupting the viewer. Fragmented cinder blocks along with shallow water refer to instability or insecurity, alluding to ideas that I am adrift and wading through unventured territory in my life. The presentation of my subconscious world has led me to arrange many pieces with a theatrical display. This dominant feature has been a curtain in the midst of being raised or lowered - either elegant and still or uneven and disheveled. With this work I compose scenes from the stage inside my brain.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px;
