what it must be like to be a highly acclaimed contemporary pop and abstract
artist who at the age of 10 years old already has an international
following and has had exhibitions around the world. Artist

the art world by storm with art collectors sitting up and taking notice (as
well as writing substantial checks) to acquire his paintings that have bold and
vibrant color palettes, and imaginative, whimsical playfulness that capture the

American Contemporary Artist William Nelson first caught the
attention of Luxury Experience during the artist reception
for his new works for the exhibition, PRETTY, Desirable, Delightful,
DANGEROUS, at Cavalier Galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut. As film buffs, we were intrigued by his large-scale paintings featuring
iconic actresses Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell,
Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn
Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Uma Thurman, and many more set
against New York landmarks and other film locations. The
deft juxtaposition of the glamorous actresses and the landmarks in their films captured
our imaginations and inspired us to learn more about the engaging artist behind
the impressive art, William Nelson.
