About Randy Nutt

Hi. I am a North Carolina-based artist. I create original visual & sound art, abstract patterns emerge from our interactions.I explore how human interactions with everyday objects (nature, debris, dreams, light…) and immersion in abstract patterns awaken pathways to realizations of undiscovered potential. I re-located to North Carolina in March 2018, after having lived in Miami for 33 years. Originally from the Chicago area, I was a founding member of the experimental art rock band Merz Pix. I studied briefly at Tyler School of Art (Philadelphia), but more important than formal schooling is my lifelong process of making and studying art, including abstract visual art and abstract compositions on electric bass guitar. Private collectors across the US and the globe (France, the UK, the Netherlands, Tasmania, Japan) have purchased my works. I had a solo exhibit in the Netherlands in the fall of 2015, at the Notre Dame des Arts gallery in Ubbergen. Locally in Miami, last summer I had two solo exhibits: one at 6th Street Container alternative art space in Little Havana (June-July) and the second one at the Wirtz Gallery a public non-profit exhibition space at the First National Bank of South Miami (July). I am a regular participant (in many media) at Audiotheque on Lincoln Road.

Education:

I studied at Aspen School of Contemporary Art (Colorado), Parsons School of Design (New York), and Tyler School of Art (Philadelphia). More important than schooling is the lifelong disciplined daily process that I am engaged in, making and studying abstract art.
