Dome
2014
"Dome" by Nathaniel Mary Quinn is a striking mixed-media work on Lenox paper that showcases the artist's signature fragmented portraiture, combining black charcoal, oil pastel, oil, paintstick, and gouache to create a haunting yet compelling human likeness. Quinn's masterful layering of materials results in a raw, textured surface where different sections of the face appear rendered in contrasting styles and tones, as if assembled from disparate visual sources. The work reflects Quinn's deeply personal artistic language, one rooted in memory and loss, giving the figure an emotionally charged presence that is simultaneously disjointed and powerfully cohesive.
