VUE ON | ART VUE: How would you describe your artistic style and the themes or concepts that oen inspire your work? GRANT: I like to think of my style as a form of "sloppy portraiture with a powerful twist." My themes and concepts shi oen, with no particular rhyme or reason. I'm usually inspired by random images I come across, which can lead me to paint something entirely different from what I did the previous month. In the beginning, I'd sometimes go a month without painting because I couldn't decide on my next "great piece." I started painting nudes simply because they seemed like an easy way to create something beautiful. But I realized I needed to stop overthinking and just start painting— something, anything. Now, I'm more spontaneous, letting my inspiration flow from a road trip, an interesting moment in everyday life, or even just the colors in a random image. VUE ON | ART 52 VUENJ.COM
