Nathan Henderson (1978) is an American artist who lives and works in Berlin. In his youth he wanted to be a cartoonist, but also developed a fascination for the old masters that he started to copy. Dissatisfied with the result, which he found too pretentious, he decided to combine both. This resulted in virtuoso quotes from artists such as Giotto, Van Eijk and Albrecht Dürer in which cartoon characters related to Disney, The Simpsons or underground comics appear. The often large scale drawings are a strange mix of high and low culture, humor and seriousness, past and present. Several works on paper feature a standing naked man, based on the portrait of the 18th century politician Richard Burke by Joshua Reynolds. He seems to be an anachronistic witness who observes our complex society with its overflow of information and images.
