Nate Fors
While primarily a painter, Fors has entertained a great variety of media from drawing and painting to public sculpture, installation, digital prints and video. Reinvention and materials are critical to his methods.
Fors is a past recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Charlotte Street Fund Award, an Avenue of the Arts Foundation Award and a Missouri Visual Artists Biennial Fellowship. He has shown extensively in the Kansas City area as well as in Los Angeles and New York. His solo exhibition venues include the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Art in America, in their Annual 2001-2002 Guide, cited his Avenue of the Arts installation, toss, as one of the 23 best public art installations in the United States during the year 2000. In May 2004 Fors completed and installed lllooppi, a permanent outdoor sculpture commissioned by the city of Leawood, Kansas.
His paintings are in the collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum of Art and the Spencer Museum at the University of Kansas as well as numerous corporate and private collections.
