Nathan DeYoung is an artist working out of Southern California. His abstract paintings explore a balance between curiosity and consideration, pairing intuitive decision-making with a measured, deliberate approach. Working primarily in acrylic on wood panels, his work emphasizes layered mark-making, spatial balance, and vibrant yet restrained color relationships. Influenced by a wide range of artists and creative mediums—including music, film, and contemporary design—DeYoung’s paintings function as visual responses to the ideas and experiences that shape his practice, often feeling deliberate yet unresolved and inviting slow viewing and quiet reflection.
