Overview

A solo exhibition featuring recent works by John Randall Nelson. This body of work exhibited 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.
