Nadd Harvin

May 21, 2023 — June 3, 2023

Over the course of nearly two months, artist in residence Nadd Harvin has been documenting experiences, interactions, and observations in their daily life— then illustrating them on Visible Records gallery walls. Alongside the murals are small square drawings. The mural is entirely blue paint, the drawings in blue pen. At the Blue Veins reception, you will also have an exclusive opportunity to screenprint Nadd’s art onto any fabric or paper object you would like to bring.

About Nadd Harvin

Nadd Harvin is a self taught painter, illustrator, and teaching artist based primarily in Richmond and Hampton Roads, Virgina. As a teacher and prolific sketchbook artist, Nadd’s work is heavily process based and influenced by the act of creating and mark making. Their work is also deeply interested in utilizing realism as a vehicle for abstract expression and creating compositions that open up a world of endless storytelling possibilities. These elements also bleed through into their large-scale mural work, creating a style that seeks to balance elements of chaos, centered around a personal narrative of creation and holding time and space. Self actualization, community and world building, time, space, ego, and identity are a few of the themes central to their work.
