Geometry Born Of Dance: Nathan Hayden’s Strong Magic
at CB1 Gallery, Los Angeles (Through April 7, 2018)
Reviewed by Emily Nimptsch
What mystical visions and artistic insights can dancing an hour per day provide? For Nathan Hayden, a West Virginia-born, Santa Barbara-based psychedelic multimedia artist, this transcendental practice inspires the mind-bending imagery behind his abstracted landscapes, biomorphic ceramic sculptures, and hallucinatory wall murals.
Housed in a former soap factory near downtown Los Angeles, the uber-trendy CB1 Gallery is currently exhibiting Nathan Hayden: Strong Magic, a suite of the artist’s latest kaleidoscopic works. The collection is essentially a meditation on the theme of discordance, with its clashing earthy tones and pastel shades, abstract and landscape elements, rounded and angular forms, and mismatched stripes, chevrons and gingham patterns. A dizzying medley of these ingredients infuses nearly every painting, sculpture and wall drawing.
