Local artist RICHARD GRANT’s February Featured Artist exhibit will
pay homage to surfing and travel posters from the 1960s and 1970s.
“Good VIBRATIONS” will show from Feb. 5-29 at the The Society of
BLUFFTON Artists (SOBA) gallery in Old Town BLUFFTON. Come meet the
artist during an opening reception from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 5th. These
events are free and open to the public.
GRANT REIMAGINES SUN, sand and surf using clean lines and negative
space. He reduces a beach, a wave or a tree to seemingly simple images
that lead to revelations of complexity.
“By capturing a mood, a feeling or even a time day, I hope to create
a place where everyone can connect with the color and form of nature
and emotion,” Grant said.
Grant’s work is influenced by artists with significant points of
view who were known for pushing conventional boundaries, including
William Morris, Georges Braque, Henri Rousseau, Roy Lichtenstein and
Frank Stella.
“I interpret images, both real and imagined, by deconstructing them
into their organic and geometric forms,” Grant said. “My style
conveys a unique and intriguing tension between otherworldliness and
real-world familiarity.”
Grant moved to Hilton Head Island from Chicago in 2017. His work is
displayed at the Thomas Masters Gallery in Chicago, The Art League of
Hilton Head Island gallery and several local businesses. Grant’s
installations can be found at Ceres’ Table, Juno and Alinea
restaurants in Chicago. Collections of his art also have displayed at
Doubletree Hotel in Oakbrook and the Hilton Head Island Recreation
Center.
