Nathan Altier Shattered Adoration, 2019 Acrylic On Varnished Gallery Wrapped Canvas 48 x 24 x 1.5 in $1,660.00 Nathan Altier Hedgesville, West Virginia, USA 304-279-2052 [email protected] http://AltierArts.com Nathan Altier Biography: Junior year of high school, I won first place and received an honorable mention in an art contest put on by the Southern Maryland Women’s League, for two separate pieces, a lithograph print collage and a painting. I was incredibly encouraged and realized at this moment that I wanted to make a living using my talent and doing what I loved. I was accepted at the Maryland College of Art & Design and honed my skills there as an artist, making the Dean’s List every semester until I graduated. After receiving an AA in Visual Communications, I decided to continue my education at the Atlanta College of Art and graduated with a BA in Computer Art. Shortly after graduation I realized that a career in computer art was not my passion, I transitioned to fine art painting, utilizing my computer art background. While I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, and experiment with abstractions and realism, I prefer portraiture. People fascinate me and I love the challenge of bringing out their personalities through my work. I have recently shown; Seven pieces at Volt Restaurant in Frederick, Md. from June 2018 through the end of August 2018, Participated in Martinsburg, WV’s Festival of Banners. My banner was on public display on N. Queen St. from June 2018 through the end of August 2018. Placed “Best in Show” in the Berkeley Arts 2018 Eastern West Virginia Juried Exhibit with “Topsail Family Portrait”.

He moved to San Diego CA to study art and launched a program of independent study/travel in many countries. This led Tony to Italy, where he lived and worked as a sculptor for two years. He interned in ceramic and bronze with sculptor Alberto Ricci in Rome, then did internships and independent study of stone carving at Studio Sem and bronze casting at Tommasi Foundry, both in Pietra Santa, Italy. Upon returning to California, he pursued a Masters of Fine Art at SDSU. There the love of carving stone and casting bronze took a back seat to less traditional materials, which he incorporated into more conceptual sculptures and site-specific installations. Tony’s work was exhibited in group shows, two-person shows, and featured artist shows until the year 2000, when he took a hiatus from sculpture and focused on environmental landscape architecture design projects. In 2015, he re-emerged as a well-seasoned, creative, high energy, conceptually oriented mixed media sculptor. His current work is fresh and exciting, incorporating thoughtful concepts and new materials.

  • Painting Prayers the Calligraphic Art of Salma Arastu
    I paint to express the prayers of my heart, and in- tend for the energy of the calligraphy, powered by the positive messages from the texts to reveal the joy and celebration that I experience while creat- ing them. Each verse I portray gives me strength and peace, and I hope to instill these feelings in my viewers. My purpose is to reach out to a broad com- munity in the pursuit of peace; to celebrate diversity, and create a positive interfaith dialogue through art that subtly penetrates the human heart to evoke response.

  • STEELSTACKS ART & ARCHITECTURE TOUR Draft 05
    STEELSTACKS ART & ARCHITECTURE TOUR Draft 05-29-2013 Welcome and thank you for coming to our Art and Architecture Tour. My name is I am a guide with Historic Bethlehem Museums and Sites. Is this your first visit? Where are you from? Did you or any of your relatives work for Bethlehem Steel? INTRODUCTION Welcome to the former Bethlehem Plant of the former Bethlehem Steel Corporation. This plant of Bethlehem Steel Corporation covered 1,800 acres, stretching for over 4 miles along the Lehigh River. Having begun as the Saucona Iron Company in 1857, it became the Bethlehem Iron Company in 1861 and then Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1904. Cheap foreign steel, the failure to revitalize aging plants, the cost of labor, management inefficiencies, and changing global circumstances finally brought the company to an end. Bethlehem Steel filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and was sold to International Steel Group in 2003. In the mid 2000s, the heart of the plant, app 124 acres, was sold to the Sands Corporation and other partners. After years of decline, this brown field is experiencing a renaissance … we will look at the early structures of the Steel and then at the new ArtsQuest Center, the PBS 39 facility, and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. In part II of this tour, called the Rise and Fall of Bethlehem Steel offered this afternoon, you will learn about the history of the Steel. Now, we will learn about the architecture of the early industrial age and the new architecture and public art as this site is gaining new life as a center for the arts, culture and gaming.

    Catalog of the Art Exhibition about "Language" for the Stanford Multidisciplinary Multimedia Meeting of Arts, Science and Humanities... SMMMASH! held at Stanford University’s Cubberley Auditorium on April 18, 2013 @ 6:30pm-9:30pm · Salma Arastu · Jon Kuzmich · Jon Gourley · Lordy Rodriguez · Carissa Potter · Sarah Tell · Renetta Sitoy · Gabriel Edwards www.smmmash.com http://continuingstudies.stanford.edu/ Curator: Piero Scaruffi ( www.scaruffi.com / [email protected] ) Art Show Coordinator: Sofia Lozano To contact the artists through their websites: http://www.scaruffi.com/stanford/artex6.html LANGUAGE AS SELF- DEFENSE: Sarah Tell's hard ground etching "How we Stifle our Words to Protect our Heart" This piece deals with the complex nature of defense mechanisms and protection. The crowbar icon both represents one's ability to pry something or someone open, and well as a tool used for defense. I feel an affinity for Eastern Europe and Russia, in particular the Soviet Era, and draw much of my aesthetic from the stark, controlled climate that existed there. Like Communism, our body's own defense mechanisms are in place to restore and maintain order, but often fail us and are a disservice. My work embodies the malfunctions of the self-preservationist impulse -- when the rational or emotional mind miscalculates -- leaving us more vulnerable or susceptible to physical or emotional pain than we had calculated or intended. Sarah Tell was born and raised in San Diego, CA and currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA. She received her BA in Art Studio from UCSB in 2007. She is currently a candidate in the MFA program at San Francisco Art Institute where she studies printmaking.

Allah is of Infinite Bounties, #7 52” x 72” acrylic on canvas. And what think those who invent lies against Allah, on the Day of Judgment? Verily, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind. -- Al-Quran 10:60 CREATIVITY IS A GIFT Reflections on a Statement by Seyyed Hossein Nasr* Our ideas about creativity determine how we think about art. The following italicized quotations from Seyyed Hossein Nasr describe a deeply felt way of understanding the heart of art in the tradition of Islam. He contrasts as well some very basic ways art has been considered in the Western world and by doing so gives us a way to approach the calligraphic art of Salma Arastu. In the Islamic world, there is no idea of Promethean creativity, that is, man acting not only independently of God but often against the Will of Heaven -- stealing the power of creativity and then going on his own and creating whatever he will out of his own individualistic level of existence, or out of his own ego, or out of his own limitation. In the ancient Greek myth, Prometheus is he who stole fire from the gods. Prometheus’ name means “fore-thought”; his brother was Epimetheus, which means “after-thought.” The names capture two ideas that are familiar ideas to the western world: we look ahead, and we reflect on what happens, or might happen, after we act.
