I took the opportunity to interview Nathan Pendlebury at last years Buy Art Fair held at the Old Granada Studios in November of last year;

”One of the North West’ leading self representing painters, Nathan Pendlebury, showcased new work to the exhibition. ‘Fields of Green II’ based on the Tom Waits classic ‘Innocent when you Dream’ was freshly completed the week previous to the Buy Art Fair. Painting using totally abstract methods he has located his work to a studio in Waterloo, Liverpool. In moving closer to the coast he is looking to introduce an element of seascape to his painting, without returning to the use of representation in his creative practise. His latest artistic creation incorporates acrylic paints, aerosol and charcoal. The black marks are added as part of the final process:

‘Detail comes at the last stage’

was stated by Pendlebury when interviewed. Painting over unsuccessful earlier works is key to his creativity, constantly striving for even greater success as a painter.”
