Nigel Clouse, "Vanquished" (2019).

When i was young I would lay in my bed at night and listen to the trains passing through town. Their wails shattered the stillness of night and echoed balefully across the inky farmland. They seemed to mourn the decline of the small towns they travelled though as they clattered alone through the darkness _________________________ #winonaryder #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #ww2 #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #rural #newcontemporary #artlovers #beautiful #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #fineart #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #hollywood #darkart #goth #alternative #grunge (at Phoenix, Arizona)

This is an early piece I created in my current body of work and one of the last to explore minimalistic backgrounds. _________________________ #myrnaloy #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #orsonwelles #newcontemporary #artlovers #beautiful #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #robocop #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #film #art #minimalism #darkart #grunge #alternative #goth #scifi (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I have been enamored with warplane nose art from the 20th century since I was young. My parents took me to an air show when I was little and I became obsessed with the bombers of World War II; especially the B-17 flying fortress. I have been lucky enough to tour the plane in this piece--quite an amazing machine. _________________________ #airplane #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #urbex #newcontemporary #artlovers #beautiful #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #ww2 #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #love #darkart #war #alternative #goth #b17 (at Phoenix, Arizona)

After we mine all of the fossil fuels, increase income inequality, and watch our infrastructure crumble; we can take solace in the fact we can still wage war over fresh drinking water or another scare resource. Society's apathy and decay are frightening to behold; we are the next corporate sponsored mass extinction event--the future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades. _________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #altmodel #newcontemporary #artlovers #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #ink #artistsoninstagram #tattoo #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #love #darkart #war #alternative #goth #punk #grunge (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I was always curious what my Dad did for a living, so I looked through his briefcase when I was young; I was curious what he kept concealed in there. He was an insurance adjuster and had pictures of house fires, tornado destruction, and various disasters; but the car wrecks were the most shocking images I found. Nothing steals your innocence quicker than seeing the blood-soaked interior of a car crumpled up like a discarded piece of paper--sometimes the void stares back. _________________________ #tornado #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #barn #newcontemporary #artlovers #artofvisuals #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #crash #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #moodygrams #darkart #mood #oldhollywood #goth #film (at Phoenix, Arizona)

My first car was a 1952 Plymouth which had been in my family for 3 generations. My Dad was an antique car enthusiast and took me to shows before I could drive. We would wander around listening to music from his youth while looking at all the amazing machines from a bygone era; with their shiny chrome, rounded curves, and exaggerated fins. I always felt like I had been born during the wrong period in history; sometimes I still do. _________________________ #jamesdean #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #windmill #newcontemporary #artlovers #hollywood #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #windmills #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #environment #darkart #nasa #oldhollywood #goth #rockabilly (at Phoenix, Arizona)

Sometimes the events we witness are indelibly seared into the deep recesses of our minds; providing us with the ability to relieve moments with vivid clarity. I visited San Francisco on a roadtrip when I was young. We stayed in a motel which bordered one of the poorest and most dangerous sections of the city. One night, on the way back to the motel, I almost stepped on a homeless woman laying on an grate for warmth--quite a shock. Homelessness was unheard of in the small rural community I was from in the Rust Belt; it isn't anymore. I was struck by the contrasting themes of wealth and poverty located within the constraints of a single city block. ______________________________ #sanfrancisco #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #altmodel #newcontemporary #artlovers #hollywood #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #tattoo #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #metalhead #darkart #alt #alternative #goth #metalgirl (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I have decided to do a large canvas giclee of Marilyn. This 48" x 36" piece will be produced on canvas; becoming the largest piece of art I have ever created. Look for updates in the near future. ______________________________ #marilynmonroe #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #altmodel #newcontemporary #artlovers #hollywood #artcollector #newcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #tattoo #urbanart #illgrammers #artdaily #artoftheday #picoftheday #instaart #americana #art #metalhead #darkart #alt #alternative #goth #metalgirl (at Phoenix, Arizona)

They were so full of hope, until living ebbed their life away. ______________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #newmedia #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryart #newcontemporary #art #artist #newcontemporaryart #railroad #illgrammers #artistsofig #artofvisuals #artoftheday #picoftheday #photooftheday #artistsoninstagram #beautiful #desert #film #moodygrams #igaddicts #igmasters #urbanart #contemporaryartist (at Phoenix, Arizona)

"It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life." - Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix was born on this day in 1942; he would have been 75--true artists are hard to come by. ______________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #contemporaryart #jimihendrix #hendrix #digitalart #newcontemporary #art #onthisday #artlovers #newcontemporaryart #artcollector #artist #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryartist #artofvisuals #rockandroll #music #grunge #history #artoftheday #picoftheday #photooftheday #highsociety #illgrammers #legend #beautiful #rockstar #quotes (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I lost a childhood friend early in life due to an accident on the water. Her boat capsized on a lake and hypothermia set in before she could make it back to shore; part of me never made it back either. _________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryartist #artist #art #illgrammers #goth #darkart #love #shipwreck #ocean #france #history #beautiful #kiss #instamood #romance #artofvisuals #artoftheday #shakespeare #artistsoninstagram (at Phoenix, Arizona)

The future was supposed to be filled with flying cars, zero point energy, and hoverboards, but instead we get oligarchy, greed, and endless wars over finite resources; mission accomplished. _________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryartist #artist #art #illgrammers #goth #darkart #war #soldier #oil #syria #history #beautiful #punk #instamood #usa #artofvisuals #artoftheday #fight #artistsoninstagram (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I loved Colorforms when i was growing up and spent countless hours using the vinyl pieces to create a multitude of scenes. I had a lot of different Colorforms, but the He-man, Spider-Man, Knight Rider, and Thundercats adventure sets got the most use. I believe the Colorforms allowed me to learn the dynamics between space, perspective, and scale at a young age; elements which continue to influence my work. ________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryartist #artist #art #illgrammers #goth #darkart #christymack #harley #harleydavidson #motorcycle #sonsofanarchy #beautiful #altmodel #alternative #nude #artofvisuals #artoftheday #soa #artistsoninstagram (at Phoenix, Arizona)

When I was young my family was on vacation and the decision was made to visit a wax museum. I dont remember any other figures, but I saw a topless depiction of Cleopatra in her throne room; I was awestruck by the scene and it created a vivid flashbulb memory. I have been enamored with egyptian history and mythology ever since--inspiring this piece. _________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #cleopatra #sphinx #egypt #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryartist #artist #art #illgrammers #goth #darkart #pyramids #desert #beautiful #altmodel #alternative #dark #horror #artofvisuals #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram (at Phoenix, Arizona)

I went to a wax museum when I was young and saw a topless depiction of Cleopatra being bitten by the poisonous asp; I was awestruck by the scene and filed it away in my long-term memory. I have been enamored with egyptian history and mythology ever since. Eternal Enigma, is a piece I created earlier this year. _________________________ #popart #popsurrealism #surrealism #cleopatra #sphinx #egypt #glitchart #digitalart #contemporaryart #newcontemporaryart #newcontemporary #artdaily #artlovers #artcollector #contemporaryartist #artist #art #illgrammers #goth #darkart #pyramids #desert #beautiful #altmodel #alternative #dark #horror #artofvisuals #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram (at Phoenix, Arizona)

L.A. Woman is my latest piece featuring Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. When I was young I wandered into my grandfather's shed; several vintage nudes adorned the walls, but I only had eyes for Marilyn.
