Minneapolis artist, Nicholas Adsit Vander Loop, holding a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and working primarily in acrylic paint and collage, utilizes various styles and effects to produce artworks that combine elements of representation and abstraction. He often paints figures or animals interacting with an abstract background and surroundings in a sort of action shot, with heavy emphasis on composition. His main focus with his art is to create a feeling of fun in his viewer and bring a smile to their face. "I like art that makes me stop and appreciate the moment I currently inhabit, I want to make artwork that does that to people."
