What once was autonomous, pure and beautiful in form as art in the 20th century has, in my painting, grown self aware, making monsters, heroes, kings and queens.
The intuitive imagination has been strong element of my work. I'm interested in Jungian Archetypes and Metamodernist theory. I am a story teller about fear, hope and redemption.
Grant Whibley holds an MFA from Elam School of Fine Arts. His tutors were artists such as Dick Frizzell, Don Binney, Paul Hartigan, Jackie Fahey and Denys Watkins. Whibley paints in the tradition of contemporary abstraction, infused with his own take on cubisim and futurism. The resulting works are richly layered and complex compositions that can be interpreted in almost endless ways by the viewer.
