Studio Arts Drawing and Painting Artist's Talk Series Presents Nicolas Grenier

February 3, 2016, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. In VA 323

Nicolas Grenier’s central artistic question, “Is painting limited to self-referential lyricism and subjectivity alone, or can it also be used to propose a more analytical critique of societal and topical issues?” keeps an ambiguous balance at play in his paintings, prints, drawings, video and architectural installations. Grenier translates these philosophical problems into the visual or the physical in work that is at once analytical and poetic, combining architectural rigor and psychedelic renderings, geometric abstraction and text elements, diagrams and color fields.
