White Bird Gallery hosts Ken Grant ~ New Paintings

Written by Marcy Haddon Sunday, 26 December 2010 22:07

Cannon Beach. OR - Ken Grant’s paintings capture unique moments in time whether it is the reality of changing light through a window, shadows cast from lone objects in otherwise empty rooms or surreal scenes contrived with wit and fantasy. Grant paints interiors of rooms, chairs, still life, and figurative works rendered in a highly refined style that resembles photo-realism. His formulated scenes hint at surrealism with the use of light and shadow as essential strengthening elements in his work. On exhibition 15 August through 30 September, 2009 at White Bird Gallery.

Grant’s pieces are created from a number of model and still life studies that are composed into romantic narratives with a Magritte-like sense of illusion. Evoking an imaginary narrative, Grant inspires the elusive impression of open space while turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Opening Reception: August 15th, 4:00 - 6:00 pm.
