Launching this month will be a collaborative venture between Brooklyn artist Ed Granger and TWFINEART. We have worked together to bring to you 8 exclusive works by the artist in limited edition print.

Ed Granger's Art + Context

“At once composed and formless, I owe an obvious debt to the Fauvists’ supremacy of color over form, an aesthetic approach in harmony—or is it tension?—within these structurally informed compositions. Granger's background in architecture is evident is his compositions. Their controlled fluidity is an intentional effort to create something at once structured and formless, but also allowing the process to happen by chance. His works are about being synchronized in time and space and Granger's intent is to allow his work to act as a vessel to receive a conscious awareness of these subconscious events of daily life, which embodies one’s abnormal physical and psychological stages.”

Granger's work represents awkwardly beautiful fantasy worlds. Nature is a subtle, understated condition in my work. I have always been interested in creating works that asks the viewer to participate in the dialogue and or interaction between objects and their environment.

Granger collect things that have a nostalgic or dreamlike feel that would represent an oeuvre of spirited work that inhibit thought, and early nostalgia electricity with painterly qualities and color over direct representation and realistic values. As he works his way through each layer, the older, beginning layers start to fade away and allow them work their way into the foreground of the composition. Based on his experimental qualities, Ed chooses how the material and its physical presence can rely on another material to do something peculiar and sometimes obscure, to create a language of it’s own. By deconstructing these elements and putting them back together in a pure yet raw fashion, he able to find a repetitive process that engages the viewer and makes you question your senses, which is the source of matter and the space in which we exist. (through our senses is why we choose to live this physical existence) The overlapping of these materials is also way to collect memories or revert back to lost moments, dreams, or childhood.

We have been engaging in some pretty great street/public art projects of late! Just this last weekend we collaborated with Brisbane Riverview Hotel to bring Californian artist Elise Lee to Brisbane. The cutting edge hotel commissioned the moving painting 'The Melody of Coexistence' specifically for the event. The animated artwork exploded like the Big Bang onto the surface of the hotel, expanding and disappearing in explosions of color and form. Like time, the artwork never repeated itself; relentlessly regenerating in new expanses & combinations of form and color. Artist Elise Lee strives to mediate between the personal experiences of joy and happiness, from the real to the unreal, remaining open to the perpetual re-assignment of either state. The circular shape of bright colors and playful movements are an invitation to party in the artist’s personal vocabulary. The repetition of singular shapes creates a visual complexity, while continuously adding layers of color and shape to ultimately create a harmony akin to music. Greg Henderson documented the event for us and produced these stunning images!

  For the James Street RESORT event, we collaborated with James Street and artist Briony Barr to create a RESORT themed artwork to light up the facade of the Scanlan Theodore store on James St. The kitsch artwork focused on the growth patterns of crystal trees. Never one to take life or art two seriously, Barr's animated installation lit up the street and provided a beautiful focal point for the Up Late shoppers!
