Rick and Morty Split (2021) Painting by Nathan Wegner

Nathan Wegner, alias Wegs, is a contemporary American artist. Wegner's distinctive artwork is a culmination of vibrant colors, pop culture references, and organized chaos. Originally from Minnesota and later settling in Florida, he pursued a degree in Studio Art at FSU before embarking on a successful career as a full-time artist.

Wegner's art resides at the intersection of time, capturing both the refined sensibilities of a seasoned artist and the nostalgic essence of youthful memories. His fascination with art began in his childhood while observing his father's drawings, leading to a deep appreciation for the bold and vivid animation seen in cartoons. It was during his high school years, when he enrolled in formal art education, that Wegner discovered the liberating potential and boundless creativity that art could offer.

While Wegner continued to refine his technical skills in university, he took his first steps towards an artistic career even before turning 22. Through various platforms, he directly shared his work with audiences, rapidly gaining an international following and selling his pieces across the USA, Canada, and parts of Europe. In just one year as a full-time artist, Wegner's signature artistic style expanded to encompass works on canvas as well as customized creations such as altered dollar bills and sneakers. Drawing inspiration from iconic pop culture figures like The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants, as well as contemporary cultural phenomena like the rise of Bitcoin, Wegner skillfully combines diverse elements to construct entirely new worlds.
