John Randa l l Ne l son

New Ar r i va l s !

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.
