Nellie King Solomon (born 1971) is an American contemporary painter known for her large-scale abstract gestural paintings on Mylar. Her work explores themes of space, environment, control, loss of control, materials, and movement. Some critics have described her works as "beautiful pictures of terrible things."

Solomon creates her abstract works by pouring and pushing paint, inks, and other materials, some potentially toxic, such as asphalt and soda ash, over translucent Mylar using custom tools.

Solomon's art practice incorporates elements of several different art movements, including the Light and Space movement, the Finish Fetish movement, and color field painting.
