Nathan Hylden (born 1978 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota) is a contemporary American abstract painter based in Los Angeles, California.
He is known for creating abstract paintings exploring philosophical relationships between cause and effect, absence and presence, and emptiness and meaning;[1] as well as for process-oriented artworks that investigate dualities of existence.
[2] He later studied with abstract painter Michael Krebber in Frankfurt, photographer Christopher Williams, and multimedia artist Richard Hawkins in Los Angeles.
[1] His pieces are often produced as a series and follow a very strict creative process which links all the works through common motifs.
[3] His solo exhibition So There’s That at Richard Telles Fine Art displays two paintings which depict a vastly magnified portion of the wall in his studio.
