Nick W. Acton is a visual artist from the Puget Sound region of Washington state. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received a BFA in Visual Communications in 2023. He currently resides in Chicago.
I create visual art that tells stories. I am inspired by comedy, the digital world, living memory, complex relationships, psychology, fan culture, maps, and language. My art strives to make sense of a senseless world, but rarely finds a simple answer. Here are some words that you could use to describe me: Adventuring, timid, unshakable, underneath, wavering, cutthroat, new, vicarious, alluding, knowing, undependable, abuzz, endless, reserved, smiling, unsatisfied, obsessive, rewarded, small, indulgent, impulsive, abstract, lazy, perfectionist, real, nice, imminent, changeable, pastoral, lucky.
