Nigel Clouse is a digital artist recognized for his innovative use of distortion, glitch aesthetics, and bold color palettes. His work explores the intersection of technology, pop culture, and societal decay, creating visually striking compositions that challenge conventional narratives. Drawing from his upbringing in the American Rust Belt, Clouse’s art reflects themes of industrial decline, greed, and the unraveling of human connection in an increasingly digital world.

Working primarily in digital media, Clouse meticulously manipulates imagery at the pixel level, crafting compositions that appropriate and deconstruct elements of mass media, femme fatales, and commercial iconography. His approach reimagines visual culture through a glitch-based lens, exposing the imperfections and failures within both digital and societal systems.

Influenced by Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Roy Lichtenstein, H.R. Giger, and Wassily Kandinsky, Clouse’s work fuses elements of pop art, surrealism, and digital abstraction. His practice continues to evolve as he explores the boundaries of technology and its impact on contemporary visual language.
