Artist Bio
Since 1995, Keith A. Nelson's career as a professional artist has taken him and his work far beyond his studio on the outskirts of Des Moines, lowa. Collectors and clients around the world purchase and commission his art because of his unique ability to connect through understanding and experience. His broad skillset has led to Keith being called a twenty-first-century Renaissance man. Nelson's multi-media work ranges from abstract expressionism to photo realism in acrylic and oils, and contemporary sculpture in aluminum, steel, and glass or other materials necessary for successful execution of a given artistic idea.
Motivated by design, creativity, and skillful execution, Keith admires artists who exhibit creative diversity, similar to Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. He derives inspiration from their variety of styles, mediums and subject matter to create his contemporary masterpieces. His diverse background and skills acquired from jewelry and furniture design, painting, sculpture and custom fabrication, provide the ability to execute nearly any artistic idea that sparks his or his client's imaginations.
His passion for creative and thoughtfully executed contemporary art is matched only by a drive to push and expand his artistic vision and capabilities. Recent aluminum and glass sculpture commissions have led to the incorporation of smart technology and programmable LED lighting, further diversifying his portfolio. With seemingly unlimited creativity, Keith not only envisions the possibilities, but executes the unimagined.
