Five Minutes After the Big Bang 03 by Bruce Granquist

Five Minutes After the Big Bang 03 is the artist playing with the theory of calligraphy with untempered conceptual freedom. Surrounding movement and its interconnectedness with other ideas. These watercolour works are a direct product of these theoretical forays and his ongoing love of calligraphy.

“Humanness is the active stance within the limits of forces larger than one’s self. It is the resignation and the light of being blown by the big wind while creating movements that express the individual’s unique flavour as a piece of broken symmetry.” ~Bruce Granquist It is through his abstract work that Bruce is most complete as an artist.

Artist Reflections on This Series

This series of watercolour paintings features a consistent use of calligraphic lines to form the images, with some works displaying denser, more clustered lines while others remain sparse. One piece, dominated by red lines, conveys a sense of aggression, while another in the same series takes on a more lyrical, flowing quality. In yet another piece, although still adhering to the same principles, there is a subtle tension as the lines seem on the verge of breaking free and suggesting a shift toward a new creative direction. A piece from a different series, characterized by dark backgrounds, presents a more serious tone and explores a sense of weightlessness in its figure, standing in stark contrast to the earlier, more whimsical examples.
