Anton Ian Nielsen (b. 1992) is a Danish visual artist. His works take inspiration from the subconscious, quantum physics, subcultures and art history. Anton Ian also tries to comment on modern society with the symbolism of popular culture. Often with a humorous expression, he paints and creates works that connect and excite with a colorful palette and references from both art history, graphic design, street art and popular culture. Often animals and people in existential longing. In the same spirit, he has published four children’s books and a poem collection with his publishing house Fleksibel.
