Nathan Carson 3D Printed Hippo

Size: 6" x 3"
Material: 3D printed

Known for figurative explorations of hybrid creatures, animals, and human figures—both fictional and historical—artist Nathan Eugene Carson's subjects emerge from richly pigmented surfaces, shedding light on narratives that weave together themes of Black identity and history, personal memories, and charged symbolism. Carson foregrounds intimate moments of joy, reflection, death, and mourning in his work, often in relation to systemic racism and discrimination. Together, his paintings and mixed-media works on paper delineate complex, multifaceted experiences that inform inherited resistance and culture with a reinforced sense of promise.
