Joan Nelson

Joan Nelson crafts intimate, layered landscapes on wood using oils and wax, often sparkled with glitter, rooted in his California beginnings and St. Louis upbringing. His technique merges historical grandeur with a novel voice, borrowing styles from masters across ages to create a collage of timelessness. His works resonate with a dichotomous serenity, hinting at both the end and rebirth of natural splendor, through a lens that's profoundly male and inherently questioning.
