N8rART

Local art was viewed from the artist Nate Pitcher.  He lives in Oceanside, CA and is a practicing professional tattoo artist.  The art was viewed online March 20, 2011 on his MySpace account entitled "n8rart"at http://www.myspace.com/n8rart/photos.  He offers a very stylistic form of drawing and paint that is influenced both by fine arts and Asian arts. His unique style is a hybridization of ancient Asian art forms and modern classic tattoos.  Bold colors and lines create a vivid image of clarity.  His improvisation in this piece reflects surrealism art such as Dali, the women in this picture is a reflection of the physiological world and not that of realism.  This painting measures over 4 feet by 4 feet and with vibrant colors and actions.  One of my favorite parts of this painting is the geometric shape amongst the jungle that the panther is stepping on; a manifestation of the mind in its surroundings.
