Bio

In a vernacular reminiscent of art brut and the outsider art of self-taught naïve artists, John Randall Nelson explores a vocabulary of words, patterns, and archetypal forms.

His imagery has a simplicity about it, but he works and reworks his compositions into a thick impasto and they become the record of an obsessive art-making process.
