Digital Media artist, Nate Lord, strives for a philosophical aesthetic grounded in post-modernity while holding onto Modern and High-Modern elements of creations in his work. Having received a BA in English and Cinema Studies, Nate is a student of both literary and film theory, leading him to extreme Deconstructionism, believing the artist is something akin to the Oracle at Delphi—spurting out lines to be left in the power of the audience to interpret and give weight, validity and meaning to. To Nate Lord, the artist’s intent is irrelevant if not non-existent. Instead of creating from a point of rhetoric with a specific message, Nate works from the emergence of a singular image, building off it with what comes naturally, such as with the Surrealists (specifically Magritte and Buñuel) and the Abstract-Expressionists (specifically DeKooning, Rothko, Motherwell and Kline), working, perhaps, from a sub-conscious vantage point.
