Nathan Eastwood


Nathan Eastwood was born in Barrow-in-Furness, England in 1972. He graduated from Byam Shaw School of Art in 2009.
Eastwood was a finalist in the 2007 ‘Celeste Art Prize’ and won the inaugural ‘East London Painting Prize’ in 2014. He paints everyday domestic and urban scenes of people he records on his mobile phone. Eastwood works in monochrome by applying enamel paint to board in thin layers. Of his work Eastwood says: “Central to my painting practice is a re-examination of kitchen sink realism.”
