Natan Lawson
-
Producing hybrid artworks at the intersection of drawing and painting, Natan Lawson’s work exists in between hand-made and computer-processed. Lawson makes all of his artwork with a computer controlled plotter originally designed to cut vinyl, which has been modified to produce marks with a variety of implements. Lawson uses found imagery, which is scanned and edited in digital form. The images are reused and recombined in shifting scales and color palettes, to produce various iterations, each unique, despite formal and aesthetic echoes. While Lawson continues to experiment with new instruments such as paint brushes, felt tip markers, and airbrush, the linear-fill of color across the surface is akin to his past work with silk-screen printing, often layering many colors to produce singular compositions.
