Yip, Yip, Yip - Public Sculptures

Starts at £13,090

Yip Yip Yip appears as part of the 2022 exhibition Curious and Fanciful Creatures: Real and Imagined as an homage to the Grey Fox, the Mexican Grey Wolf, and the Coyote. All three feral Canids inhabit Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. The Grey Fox is about 12 to 16 inches tall and weighs about 10 lbs. They have slender legs and long tails. This sculptural Canid, by contrast, is 6 feet tall, made of 1/4” galvanized steel plate and weighs about 500 lbs. “Yip, Yip, Yip” references both abstraction and modernism. As in Cubist sculpture, the subject is analyzed, broken up and reassembled, reducing the figure to its most fundamental features. Symbolically, the fox appears in the folklore of many cultures as a figure of cunning and trickery, or as a familiar animal possessed of magic powers. The Fox is emblematic of magic, and is a quintessential symbol of good luck!

John Randall Nelson

Tempe, AZ

Wescover creator since 2019
“I think the ambiguous is more interesting, more engaging. Because there is always something more to discover it reveals itself more slowly and it has greater longevity.”

John Randall Nelson lives and works in Tempe, Arizona. An MFA graduate of Arizona State University’s Herberger School of Fine Arts, his folk art inspired works have been exhibited and collected both nationally and abroad. A sculptor as well as a painter, he has completed commissions for clients as diverse as the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service and the BIO5 Institute at the University of Arizona.

“Over the years I've heard Nelson's work described as Outsider Art, Pop, and Primitive. Maybe it's all of the above. What I do know is John has perfected the combination of playful and poignant. Using a diverse mix of materials in both painting and sculpture, he's developed a unique language over the years with the use of societal, political ancedotes and familiar cultural icons. Nelson has created a landscape all his own, both introspective and whimsical, much appreciated qualities, in this ever-changing moment in time.”
Covington Jordan, Director, Gebert Contemporary, Santa Fe, NM.
