Nicolas Caesar is a self-taught artist hailing from Northern CA. Founder of the Scary Art Collective, his artwork brings forth a whimsical creepy landscape populated by beings both sinister and sardonic. You will see glimpses of Sideshow madness within his paintings mixed with a healthy dose of 50’s B-Movie charm. The raw feel
of his work twists the familiar yet remains strikingly original. Nicolas’ horrific characters, with their permanent, toothy grins, reveal a playful quality to his art that challenges you to keep from smiling along no matter what atrocity they are currently plotting for your future.

"When I saw your work, I immediately thought "Outsider Dark Noir," - like the old 1930s-1950s Dark Noir feeling, that is what your work reminds me of, very intense and timeless!"
- Madame Talbot.
Nicolas Caesar's "Tired Giant," made of wires and a porcelain doll mask, looks like something you might find in an HR Giger painting — something you wouldn't want to run into on a chilly night in a dark alley.

I really, REALLY dig your work

I think it is very fair to say that Nic Caesar is a friend of mine, even though I have only briefly met him once at a show I invited him to be a part of, because his amazing art simply needed to be there.
Nic rocks, is incredibly kind and lighthearted, and truly is probably one if the easiest person I have ever had the opportunity to work with

"Caeser's modern-Gothic aesthetic contains aspects of both Survival Research Labs and the Muppets. He combines urban detritus like wires, saw blades, doll parts, and religious artifacts with bones, blood,
and animal parts into tragic and amusing mutant assemblages with names such as Spiderbaby and Angel of Doubt"
- SF Weekly
"Nicolas is a highly creative, demented little runt, a bastard hybrid of Peter Lorre and Alvin the Chipmunk. He's also a talented and unusual artist"

If Vincent Price and Tim Burton had a love child, it would be Nicolas Caesar.
