Calvin Miceli-Nelson (b.1993) is a painter living and working in Los Angeles. His work explores how historical and personal environments surrounding madness and illness shape the body through a narrative series of paintings that function as a diaristic account of treatment from a chronic panic disorder. Together, the paintings chart the disassembly of an individual into its component parts and the tension between this body and the social containers it lives within. His work has been shown at Freddy, James Fuentes, and Page NYC in New York, As is Stands in Los Angeles, and 4649 in Tokyo. He received his BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2015.
