FLUX

"I needed to make something that was positive out of my own struggles. I need to be creative to make myself happy. Making art makes me feel really happy."

Nathaniel Harvey 2023

Nathaniel Harvey's creative practice seeks to pursue happiness; despite the challenges and obstacles one can face in everyday life. His rich collection of works celebrates the cracks in the surface where light escapes and illuminates the pathways of an individual seeking meaningful engagement with the world. 


Nathaniel's latest solo exhibition 'Flux Automation', is an immersive sensory space where Nathaniel is showcasing his extensive body of work, produced tirelessly over the last 5 years. 


Nathaniel identifies as a young Northern Rivers man on the Autism Spectrum, based proudly in Kyogle. His work utilises various mediums ( painting, film, sound, photography, sculpture and installation ) to capture his creative vision. Drawing influence from film, Pop culture, and a plethora of artists such as Jackson Pollock, Quentin Tarantino, Wassily Kandinsky, Stanley Kubrick, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alfred Hitchcock and Ed Wood. Nathaniel's art reflects genuine, emotionally energetic, action-based responses to the world. His work embodies rich narratives that are complex, abstracted and uncompromisingly unique. When assembled on mass, his body of work provides nothing less than an experiential journey that honours the paradoxical shades of life in a manner that is explorative, accessible, performative and fun.
