Stan State university Art Gallery is thrilled to present exhibition Home, and other foreign places by Nathan Huff from August 25-October 11, 2025. An opening reception will take place Thursday, September 25, from 6:00p.m.
NATHAN HUFF produces paintings, drawings, and sculpture that create freewheeling narratives: personal stories of suspending gravity, traversing emotional vertigo, and sorting reservoirs of memories.
He earned and MFA in Drawing and Painting from California State University Long Beach in 2010. Huff’s installations have been featured in solo exhibitions at UCR Culver and Sweeney Museum (Riverside) Los Angeles at D.E.N Contemporary, Minthorne Gallery (Oregon), Gallerie View (Salambo, Tunisia), group exhibitions at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, JK Gallery, Lotus Land, Wilding Museum, Westmont Ridley Tree Museum of Art, and Angles Gate Cultural Center. His works are in the Permanent Collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Culver Museum, the Hilbert Museum of California Art, Ridley Tree Museum of Art, and Cal State University Long Beach. Nathan teaches as a professor of art at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, and is represented by Sullivan Goss Gallery.
Home, and other foreign places is a multimedia installation inviting viewers to navigate the experience of dislocation and self-discovery. The exhibition features suspended works on paper, images of the natural world, and familiar objects from domestic spaces. These elements collide within the installation, creating a sense of juxtaposition that encourages you to question your bearings and reflect on the fluid movement between states of rest and movement. Drawing on themes of migration and metaphor and using elemental materials like wood and paper, the installation explores the multilayered process of discovering ourselves and our connection to others.
