Nathaniel Donnett
Nathaniel Donnett’s interdisciplinary practice explores imagination, notions of being, the in/exterior, and race through metaphysical and phenomenological spaces. Through abstraction and vernacular forms as language, his work challenges traditional modes of timeline narratives. Donnett recontextualizes materials and meaning by delving into subjects rooted in sociopolitical-cultural concerns and liminal spaces.
Nathaniel Donnett has exhibited work at Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston, Texas; Virginia Museum of Fine Art; and Project Row Houses, all in the United States, among others.
