Nate Stottrup
Nate Stottrup’s prints and drawings utilize techniques of line, composition and contrast to develop movement and narrative. The three pieces featured here draw inspiration from landscape. Fuck Everything and Run more specifically explores and maps the inner experience of fear, while Flying Over the Monuments finds direct inspiration from Canyonlands National Park. Stottrup grew up on a farm and explains that once he was finished with his chores he would “sit down with the Hulk, or Spiderman or Wolverine and draw.†This childhood past time eventually led to his study of printmaking in college, cementing his passion for making. Stottrup lives and works in Seattle, WA. To see more of his work please visit his website www.natestottrup.com

The answer isn't poetry, but rather language

This work is so beautiful. I saw it up in Bauhaus not to long ago and it stopped me in my tracks. These surreal landscapes feel as if I’ve entered the mindscape of another person! Some are objective feeling, like “fuck everything and run”, that perfectly illustrate feelings we all share. While others feel like a place within Mr. Stottrups mind that has been revealed and frozen. I love these works. They’re intuative and expressive while realistic enough to be emotional and experienceable. Well done sir!
