Nathan Isaac

Nathan Isaac is an artist and designer based in Newport, Rhode Island. His storied, mid-century imbued collages present stirring imagery of the invisible and imagined with a connective energy.  

 

Color and contrast feature boldly in primal, geometric, and organic forms. A mien of modern sculpture accentuates particular compositions along with elements of constructivism, cubism and a range of abstraction. Reflected influences include masters such as Matisse, Picasso, Hepworth, and Nicholson. 

 

An innate sensitivity for aural-visual interplay surfaces in Isaac’s novel assemblages – constructed from vintage and sustainably sourced papers and ephemera, pigment-based inks, and natural adhesive. 

 

Experienced by many viewers as emotive and musical in tone and 20th-century in voice, the works are often based in memory and identity journeys with universal themes. 

 

‘My imageries aim to evoke. Through a varied and intuitive process, I connect resonance and reminiscence.’ 

 

His works appear in private collections internationally, luxe interior designs, and celebrated galleries and design shops in the US, UK, and FR.
