About the Item

"Adrift" Abstract expressionist acrylic painting on paper in a black frame. This artist is open to site-specific commissioned artworks. Message us for additional information. Talking with Grant about painting and the experience of her new larger works on panel, I am reminded of a recent interview with the artist Julie Mehretu and Ted Loos in the Wall Street Journal Magazine, where Mehretu says, “A painting can transform you. You can actually have a physical experience, in your belly.” Grant both feels this during her process, as well as produces the possibility of that very experience for her viewers. She talks about her summer up at Okoboji. But she talks of it in terms of the unsolved mysteries to which she returned at her Des Moines home—imagining backstories to remnants she found outside. An osprey and a mountain lion tussled in the city? This is just one of the stories Grant tries to piece together. And it leads her to realize something she’s been addressing her entire art career—Man v Nature. The six smaller works on paper in the exhibit are square, portals at the ends of imperfect bellows made of paint. “If I Were Lightning,” “Adrift,” “Lone Red Bird,” “Sticks and Stones,” “Single Cloud,” and “Boat Upon the Water,” all deliver the viewer to the object or action in the center frame, dare it be said—lens. In “Boat Upon the Water,” the marine blue and white mix to assist in forming a mat for the titular image in its barest rendering. The action literally surrounds the subject here and in the other five paintings in this series. The frames within the frames within the frames serve, as in her larger paper works, as something that is a part of and apart from that which they frame.
