Nathan Nun

In Nathan Nun's digital, acrylic, and ink artworks, history, fantasy, philosophy, and politics are brought together thematically though a world of anthropomorphic cats. The scope of his works range from historically influenced medieval portraits, representations of working class life, to avant-garde, pastiche political posters and ads. The works invite us to rethink our human condition through the joining of the feline and human worlds and the resulting constellation of contrasting themes: strangeness and familiarity, the formal and the ordinary, the serious and the humourous. Throughout these works anthropomorphy is suggestive of a transformed world and nature - upright beings, creatures made persons and a hard world made soft. Taken altogether, they are a collection of artifacts from a world in which creatures have struggled to escape the logic of history and point toward a real-possible future of solidarity where space cats are exploring the galaxy or are free to nap the day away.
