Biographical Statement:
The Art Department warmly welcomes Logan Grider as assistant professor of studio art. His paintings have developed out of efforts to construct representations of sounds, emotional states, characters, conversations, and actions through abstraction. He uses abstraction to instigate questions in the viewer about spatial relationships and the possible limits of what can be represented, encouraging the view to be an active participant.
Logan’s work has most recently been shown in Thierry Goldberg Projects, Yvon Lambert Gallery, and Allston Skirt Gallery. He has taught at Yale University as a painting and printmaking Critic, and at University of Kentucky Lexington as Assistant Professor of Painting. Beginning in the 2009 fall semester Logan will teach Foundation drawing and oil painting.
