Nate Zoba is an artist based in Los Angeles via Chicago and Boston. He is interested in the inarticulate elements of aesthetic experience and the energies created in that tension between those experiences and attempts to describe them, a subject matter of absence. His art has been exhibited internationally and writing has been published in a variety of locations.
