In Quietude, the latest exhibition by Toronto artist Steven Nederveen, the artist explores the sensation of calm and reflection instilled through true solitude. Informed by his own practice of meditation, Nederveen navigates our recent acquaintance with seclusion that is both shared and personal. Depicting the Muskoka and Northern regions of Ontario, Nederveen’s distinctive mixed-media process develops a magical realism that insists on new perspectives on the otherwise familiar landscape. Rustic islands, dense with trees and shrubbery, maintain the idyllic Canadian wilderness while offering a place of private retreat, removed from the activities of dense cities.
Steven Nederveen's work is featured internationally in galleries, art fairs, magazines, and many private collections. He studied fine art at Medicine Hat College and went on to receive a Bachelor of Design from the University of Alberta in 1995. His studio is currently based in Toronto.
