Nathan L. V. Bischoff

Nathan Bischoff is a multidisciplinary artist who primarily works in video production, written works/poetry, performance, digital and traditional illustration, and digital collage. he was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is still currently based. he graduated from Herron High School in 2020, and from Indiana University Bloomington in 2024, obtaining a BA in Studio Art, as well as having a focus in creative writing and poetry.

Nathan has worked on his artistic practice ever since he was very young, and, in middle school, took to drawing lots of original characters, creating electronic music with his cousin, and beginning his journey in poetry. once he entered high school, he trained traditionally in painting, figure drawing, and sculpture, and began his personal practice in digital illustration. it was in college when he found a greater attachment to video production and performance, and took to utilizing props, the human body, installation, glitch, and archival footage.

he is often exploring themes of gender expression and sexuality (as well as their fluidity as living, breathing entities), and the adolescence, complexities, and evolution of these things.
