Grady Gordon: The Resplendent Murk

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at City College Art Gallery (see times)
Reception: Thursday, September 3, 5:30 to 7:30pm

According to artist Grady Gordon, monsters have identity crises too. His new body of artwork, which includes prints and sculptures, has his monsters experience the messiness and tension of relationships and self awareness. In some strange way, the work suggest we are all human, even when some of us are dead or a bit decayed.

Bio: Grady Gordon is originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico. His art is deeply influenced by various mythologies from across the world. In each new series he finds a particular myth to re-appropriate into a new version, and of course creates the images solely in black and white. Grady utilizes the most crude mark-making instruments to bring about the characters that inhabit the invisible plane. He works entirely by removing thick black ink from a Plexiglas surface. The monotype print is a study of impermanence. Unlike other forms of printmaking the monotype offers only one copy. The original image on the plate is then given back to the ether, back into the fabric.

Gordon has a BFA in Illustration from California College of Art and teaches art at San Francisco Day School. He resides in Oakland, California.
