About the Item
Unframed dimensions: 48 x 36 inches
Framed dimensions: 50 x 38 inches
William Nelson’s paintings are wildly-imaginative pastiches of popular culture past and present, often reflective of the artist’s personal history. He draws wide-ranging inspiration from film and television of his youth, retro toys and games, comic books, Renaissance art, famous composers, iconic American consumer products and architectural landmarks, historical figures, and even social media. In the alternate universes of Nelson’s canvases, anything is possible.
Just when there seems to be a method to the madness of a William Nelson painting, a formula for a certain series, the passionate and prolific artist will break his own invented rules and move in a new direction. He draws freely from visual references spanning centuries, media, and countries of origin to create artwork that feels surprising and new. In this way, he is very much a painter of our age, where access to information is seemingly limitless and we are inundated daily with myriad images, as artificial realities compete for our attention in the physical world. From this bounty, Nelson prepares his visual feasts a la carte, serving up an eye candy all his own.
