NYAB Event - Jason Grunwald "Was It All Just A Dream?"

Jason Grunwald "Was It All Just A Dream?"

Eastern District

This event has ended.

Local Bushwick artist Jason Grunwald’s upcoming solo show will feature over 30 different works that encompass his wide range of talent and style. Varying in medium from silkscreen rock posters to detailed oil paintings to raw sculptures, Jason’s work brings new light and energy to the Hyperrealism style.

Jason’s limited edition silkscreen posters series that will be exhibited are reminiscent of the intensity and detail of an Albrecht Durer print with a contemporary rock twist. Many of the posters featured in the show are directly from the artist’s private collection, and have been unattainable since they were sold out on the night of their concert. He has collaborated with many bands including Lee Scratch Perry, The Fall, The Coachwhips, The Ohsees, Grizzly Bear, Big A little a, The Slits, Devendra Banhart, and Sonic Youth (to name a few).

Jason’s most recent paintings series titled, “If You’ll Listen I’ll Tell You Everything”, are meticulously detailed representations of his studio walls, which are covered in hundreds of drawings, photos and magazine clippings. Using trompe-l’oeil, illusion, and photorealism, he is able to create incredibly hyper-realistic architectural spaces within his paintings. Each reinterpreted image that he paints onto the canvas builds upon the next in order to form a complex narrative illustrating the very specific Grunwald energy and style that is evident in all of his pieces. In addition to these paintings, we will also be exhibiting much of the original artwork that he drew inspiration from.
