AMERICAN BORN PAINTER - 1972 - DENVER, CO
CT Nelson is a contemporary figurative artist who moved to Denver from the Midwest after attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Fine Arts Department.
Since arriving in Denver, he has created a unique style of painting – a technique he named “Repetitive Fragmatism.†CT captures several moments of time on a single canvas by breaking and repeating his subject, a modern twist while using the same techniques as the old masters. The end result is a story told by separate fragments within the piece capturing seconds, representing intimate, simple moments in a very unique and contemporary way.
CT Nelson is rapidly making his influence felt. Eight months after moving to Denver, he won the Art Students League of Denver “Top of the Town†award and was awarded second place in the International Gamblin Oil Paints Torrid Grey Award. Soon after that he was selected into the Cherry Creeks Art Festival one of the nations premiere art venues, over 350,000 people attended.
Recently CT had his first international show in Kuwait City Kuwait in the Middle East, and since then picked up representation Los Angeles, CA.
To date he has collectors in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
