Grant Arthur Barnhart

Grant Arthur Barnhart has been making large-scale works for over two decades — widely exhibited, reviewed in the Los Angeles Times, Art in America, Juxtapoz, and the Seattle Times. Solo shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Berlin, Luxembourg, and New York. Gallery representation on both coasts.

The current body of work is oil pastel and pencil on newsprint — mythic figures, ritual marks, raw and direct. It extends an investigation begun in the mid-2000s into the nature of symbols and the persistence of image-making as a human act. The tools have changed. The question hasn't.

Born 1978. Based in New York.

—Exhibited at Ambach & Rice, Los Angeles
—Reborn in a Navajo sweat lodge, American Southwest
—10-day silent Vipassana retreat, Thailand
—Lived in a cult, did not join the cult
—Based in New York
