Artist Statement

Steven Nederveen’s artwork deals with the passage of time, a theme stemming from his own
practice of meditation. These moments of peaceful clarity lead the artist to draw connections
between our natural environment and aspects of spirituality. Nederveen’s works appear timeless – with animals, figures, and graphic elements found in the dreamlike scenes, reflecting an incredible mystical vision.

By blurring the lines between photograph and painting, Steven Nederveen develops a magical
realism that inspires us to see the natural world with new eyes. Through distressing and aging his
work he creates the sense of past and present; of struggle and transformation. A glass-like layer of
resin coats each piece, enhancing the clarity of the image and reflecting the viewer into the work .
Steven Nederveen studied fine art at Medicine Hat College and went on to receive a Bachelor
of Design from the University of Alberta in 1995. His studio is currently based in Toronto.
Nederveen’s work is featured internationally in galleries, art fairs, magazines, and many private
collections.

June 7-21, 2014

Canada House Gallery, Banff

Here are a few pieces of what's to come. More will be added as paintings are completed.
Paintings - Water Series

As a novice surfer I'm completely obsessed with waves and water. It's amazing force is both meditative and chaotic, providing a never ending source of inspiration.
Paintings - Luminous Landscapes

These images are from around the world, places that have some kind of haunting presence to them.
Paintings - Posh Formal Gardens

These are well known gardens and parks from England, France, Italy and Miami. I've scratched and painted the photographic image to create the effect of light emerging through the landscape. These historic gardens fall into a sort of liminal space where they are half dream half real.
Paintings - Can't see the forest for the trees

I find trees infinitely interesting, a forest not so much.
Discovering an individual tree that's knarled and weathered speaks to my own sense of solitude and inner strength. The course bark and oddly bent branches capture the tree's persaverance through harsh conditions. Offset from this is a delicate handling of light, whereby the presence of spirits and internal glow invite us to contemplate the passage of time.
