① Artwork:
Execration
This painting and its muted palette of pink, yellow, and blue tints explore erasure as an act of creation. As the artist painted this work, vulgar imagery began to appear. And while these images weren't fully erased, they were eventually masked and abstracted by cream-colored veils.
Rives Granade is interested in the changeability of form in his paintings, particularly as it relates to ideas of translation and reinterpretation. His protean marks are heavily influenced by modernist forms of expressionism and tend to occupy a space between abstraction and representation. In his work, images subtly emerge, become legible and dissipate.

③ Artist:
Rives Granade is interested in the changeability of form in his paintings, particularly as it relates to ideas of translation and re-interpretation. His protean marks are heavily influenced by modernist forms of expressionism and tend to occupy a space between abstraction and representation.
