Nate Luce

Nate Luce (b. 1987 in Waterbury, CT, lives in Rockland, ME) studied art at Bennington College and religion at Harvard University. He has bounced around New England for most of his life. He has worked in a public library, as a videographer at a new age center, as a shop steward for a union, in two distilleries (one his own, Luce Spirits, in Rockland, Maine), and ran the Martha’s Vineyard branch of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Nate’s work has been shown in solo exhibitions at BUOY Gallery in Kittery, ME and New Systems Exhibitions in Portland, ME, as well as group exhibitions at Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockland, ME.

“The paintings in this collection gesture across temporality, gently suggesting life beyond what we understand to be living. They communicate something like feedback from the ethereal channel between the here and the there, the great big beyond, and nevertheless even the static noise is crystally clear like river water, or like baby’s tears. These paintings are visions… Heaven and hell and Earth and grief and love and pain and beauty and wilderness: we are in this together.” – Chelsea Harlan
