“Grant’s paintings envelop the viewer in a soothing atmospheric calm. This is ambient realism at its best. In these canvasses there is no shift in sensibility from his earlier work though subject matter here is more distant. Landscape images like Field (Cobar) and Rising could just as easily evoke abstract sensations. Heartland works on a sensory level to achieve with the effect of paint something that is essentially wordless.”
