Artist's Statement

"My paintings explore the potential for meaning in simple, bold, and colorful combinations of shape and dimension. The modular units that make up the pieces are painted separately and then combined in the studio to create strings of information that take on the form of a visual syntax. As I combine the elements of my pieces, I am building relationships that speak not only to the internal logic of the single piece, but also to the larger structure of the abstract language that is present in the whole body of work. I look at my paintings as an evolving whole whose constituent components will continue to shift, drop out, or be added to as I explore the boundaries of my process." ~ Ben Grant
