The characters in Nathan Huff ’s Tension/Intention paintings invariably find themselves pushed to the brink. Undoubtedly their impending failure or success is intended to serve as a moral lesson for us all, but the outcome is not precisely clear. In a concerted effort to reach unprecedented new heights, these figures have exhibited remarkable creative ingenuity and a fair dose of reckless ambition. Their work has lead them to a point of no return and the house of cards appears to be held together by sheer force of will. The paintings might easily be despairing, but instead we root for their continued success.
