John Randall Nelson
New Arrivals!
John Randall Nelson John Randall Nelson is a storyteller. Friendliness, compassion, vulnerability, love and loss make up his narrative. Painted with layers of earthen colors, pours, glazes and evocative shapes including people, animals, objects, symbols and words, Nelson speaks truth on both a personal and universal level. His work represents a natural evolution of his longtime infatuation with the Transavantgarde weaving together messages and imagery that evoke a response in even the most casual viewer.
Nelson's work revolves around a personal language of symbols and archetypes. The subjects of the paintings change from piece to piece and from project to project but the core of the work stems from his own personal lexicon of archetypal symbols.
As Kathryn M. Davis writes in ArtNews, Nelson’s “sly paintings conjure cartoons, found signage, and modern hieroglyphs, and tie them together with lusciously patinated surfaces. Nelson describes his own process: “The unconscious is like a reservoir. Themes emerge, some that are humorous, others that are cryptic and vague.” His work presents an idiosyncratic slant on the human figure and a psychological take on human nature.
