      Deborah Grant, b. 1968, Giant, Enamel and adhesive letters on chalkboard, 23 x 17 inches

      Est: $3,000 - $5,000

      Deborah Grant b. 1968 Giant Enamel and adhesive letters on chalkboard 2002 Signed, dated and titled verso. Arena Gallery, NYC label verso. Grant was born in Toronto, but her family moved to Brooklyn in 1972. She received a BFA from Columbia College in Chicago in 1996 and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art (Philadelphia) in 1999 (studied with Stanley Whitney). She then completed a summer residency at the Skowhagen School of Painting and served as artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem (2002-2003). In 1996, Grant began working in a process she called “random select”, which combines non-linear historical facts and pairings of artists and content that defy categorization. Human nature attempts to define and organize sensory input, but the reality is that we are bombarded with many sensations simultaneously—some we choose, some we do not, and they definitely do not arrive in any sort of reasonable order. “I wanted to examine the idea of constant information bombardment or the chaos in the back of our minds juxtaposed with what is happening physically in front of us.” — International Review of African American Art, John Welch, 2014 Grant addresses art history itself in a process of re-invention, and she emphasizes “telling who your sources are.” Rather than feigning cleverness and ignorance, she very obviously includes the inspiration in the work; thus she retells the story—but because it’s her telling, it’s truly a different story. Grant exhibited in the seminal show, Freestyle, at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2001 (alongside Rashid Johnson, Mark Bradford, and Jennie C. Jones). The show focused on young artists who would be destined to be the pacesetters for the next generation. In the catalog (p.33), Franklin Sirman writes about Grant’s work: “Grant’s compositions are frontal assaults using dense imagery and diaristic text..to ask questions and provoke meaningful answers. From an early interest in comic books and Disney’s own Fantasia to the architectural graffiti of her youth in Coney Island and the art historical referents of Dubuffet, Twombly, and Basquiat, Grant is sampling public scatter to create a space of imaginary dimensional depth. Employing a newsprint palette of black and white (serious) and red, she generously asks us to consider the mundane nature with which we go about our business. Drugs, violence, and imprisonment take their roles alongside heroic figures like Marie Callas and Jean Genet while the everyman spews forth in a chaotic diatribe of words.” 23 x 17 inches
