About the Item

Mixed Media homage to the American Dream. About the artist: John Grande is a New York-based artist who reflects upon modern and contemporary culture with his constructed paintings, sculptures and murals while carefully utilizing techniques and traditions as far reaching those of Old Master painters, 19th century artists to 20th century advertising and Pop Art. His subjects are diverse, often readily recognizable and at times quite humorous: from glamorous Hollywood stars to the art world itself and the more gritty subjects of street art. From American Dreams, fantasies, obsessions and cultural practices are all subjects the artist depicted in his action packed, layered and dynamic paintings, some even become spatial explorations on the wall. John Grande inserts momentary acknowledgments of art history and other artists. Nothing is off limits, everything is subject to his thought-provoking, yet playful visualization of our society at large. John Grande’s art comes from culture, the history of art and the culture of our times. His work with its vibrant colors, serrated juxtapositions, double and triple dimensions and energetic ideas is set apart by the unexpected — yet it speaks to everybody: “It’s about the people, about us, the human race". Each line of work, each piece is unique, constructing and deconstructing popular and contemporary culture derived from today’s multi-media world, as well as transforming and uniquely weaving high-end symbols and icons immersed in today’s lifestyle using industrial mediums in the process. John Grande was born in 1969 in Huntington, Long Island. He attended the School of Visual Arts and in 1995 earned his BFA degree. After graduating Grande moved to NYC and worked as a professional C Printer Tech at a photo lab in Tribeca. Grande has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the world, including New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington DC, South Korea, Italy, India and Canada. His artwork has been collected worldwide, from India to Switzerland and Italy to Mexico and South Korea, and all over the United States.

Wayward, Abstract Painting
By M. Clark
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Painterly strokes of gold move about on a black background. "The edges are finished in gold foil creating a halo effect around the artwork as light reflects off the sides of the piece," shares artist M. Clark. The technique used to create this is one where gold foil is sculpted using heat and varying pressure over the course of many weeks. "This work has a continuously shifting luminosity that is dependent on the viewer’s vantage point. This provides an infinitely evolving viewing experience."


About the Artist
M. Clark manipulates metallic foil in order to create rich surfaces that are highly reactive to shifts in light. She strives to continually push the bounds of her gold foil medium, including working directly with a manufacturer to develop foil in specific sizes and colors that were not previously available...
