Art Business News June 2005
Nathan Janes is proud to say he is a native of Port Clinton, Ohio, a town on the shores of Lake Erie. Nathan is a graduate of The Columbus College of Art & Design (also known as CCAD), but when it comes to painting he is self-taught. Inspired daily by cartoons, politics, childish thoughts, and his two doggie best friends (Button and Zipper), Nathan's paintings are a mix of Modern Art and Urban Pop Art. Using colors that seem straight out of a crayon box, his paintings are fresh, bright, and bold with a life-like feeling. “Pop ARF” illustrates the companionship and genuine love between dogs and people. My goal is to create art that presents dogs as individuals with unique personalities who can’t help but put a smile on your face. I strive to discover dogs' spirits and capture their essence in rich, vibrant art. I give dogs a voice to create humor, awareness and understanding. Through my art I hope to inspire others to donate to local shelters and to consider pet adoption as a way to find a new best friend. |
