Zbigniew Grzyb “While I paint, I work out ideas to their extremes without attempting to control the destiny of each

painting. I control the process to a certain point, but then the painting itself takes over. When I recognize that every element of the painting connects, I stop the process. My painting is not

about any theory or -ism. There is no content other than the image. The lines themselves are the only visual evidence of the energy of my process,” Zbigniew Grzyb.

   Grant Frost The photographs in this exhibition are part of a portfolio of abstract photographs that were created to record the simple beauty that can be found in everyday objects. “Photography is often expected to be representational. For this series I photographed real things – what they are is not important. Rather, the mood, the feeling or the sensuality that they convey in the viewer’s mind is the key,” Grant Frost. The images can invoke different responses from each viewer. Most of the images can be viewed in more than one rotational aspect; there is no top or bottom, no right or wrong way to view them. The tones and textures of these images blur the lines between photography, charcoal, and pencil drawings. The images were all shot on location – they are not constructs. The images were found through the lens – they are not digital manipulations. They were all found in publicly accessible places. The final printed images were published and crafted in pure palladium by master printer, Paul Taylor of Renaissance Press. Palladium was chosen for its extended tonal scale to bring out the subtle tones of the images. “Everyday we often see and hear so much anger, fear, hurt, and ugliness. I want to present things that calm the mind, and provoke questions,” Grant Frost.
