Lee Grantham
Reverse Acrylic Painting
Lee Grantham works in a reverse painting technique with acrylic on plexiglass. His paintings are very much influenced by the Chicago Imagist group known as the Hairy Who. Lee liked their use of color, patterns, imagery and subject matter. His paintings are about color, patterns, imagery and subject matter.
The title is very important in his work and drives the creative process in developing the work of art. Once he has a title, Lee will begin with a line drawing the size of the plexiglass. He then decides what the border, background, and main figure are going to be.
"I do color studies because once the painting is started, I do not get to see the painting until it is finished." Painting in reverse presents its own challenges and allows him to tap into some of his personal idiosyncrasies.
His art is not based upon some ideological or philosophical meaning; Lee Grantham's art is an expression of what he loves to do and loves to share with others.
