Glenn Quist Art

Glenn Quist is a full-time artist in Elk River, Minnesota, near the Twin Cities metropolitan area. His elongated modernist figures appear in scenes derived from both memory and imagination with a strong emphasis on color and composition. Quist considers his paintings to be somewhere between dreams and reality. Opposed to telling stories directly, he prefers to present his work and leave the interpretation to the viewer.

Palomino Tree came more or less in a dream of a horse high up in a tree. This painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished edges. It comes ready to hang.

Farrago
By Glenn Quist
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
This piece is one in a small series of somewhat eclectic still life paintings. I enjoy the loose structure and a sort of floating over the top view and the heavy pottery with little wispy plants.
