$ On Inquiry

A solo exhibition featuring recent works by John Randall Nelson, this series, displayed at Windgate Gallery on the University of Arkansas campus, is layered with the artist's own personal language consisting of patterns, symbols, and archetypes that may not make any literal sense but play on subconscious associations while suggesting a metaphor for the tension and anxiety of the times.

John Randall Nelson

Tempe, AZ

Wescover creator since 2019
“I think the ambiguous is more interesting, more engaging. Because there is always something more to discover it reveals itself more slowly and it has greater longevity.”

John Randall Nelson lives and works in Tempe, Arizona. An MFA graduate of Arizona State University’s Herberger School of Fine Arts, his folk art inspired works have been exhibited and collected both nationally and abroad. A sculptor as well as a painter, he has completed commissions for clients as diverse as the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service and the BIO5 Institute at the University of Arizona.

“Over the years I've heard Nelson's work described as Outsider Art, Pop, and Primitive. Maybe it's all of the above. What I do know is John has perfected the combination of playful and poignant. Using a diverse mix of materials in both painting and sculpture, he's developed a unique language over the years with the use of societal, political ancedotes and familiar cultural icons. Nelson has created a landscape all his own, both introspective and whimsical, much appreciated qualities, in this ever-changing moment in time.”
