Regina Granne’s powerful new paintings and drawings continue her exploration into the nature of physical evidence and our reaction to it - a topic made all the more compelling through her more recent focus on violence in the Middle East.

Granne is “an artist of our times,” wrote the Boston Globe in March, 2003. "[S]he takes as her subject the grief and horror we impose on one another …[and] plumbs it with renewed compassion and bracing form.”

In her latest work, Granne addresses both the transitory nature of evidence and the current overabundance of visual information, juxtaposing stark images of war from newspapers with children’s drawings, maps and paper airplanes. By rendering the appropriated images in her own hand, Granne overlays an element of intimacy on the inherent distance of the media, ultimately posing the questions: “what do we see and what do we do?”

“The artist has created a vessel for grief over the atrocities of violence and war,” wrote the Globe. “The vessel doesn’t ease the pain of mourning, but in giving it shape, Granne helps viewers to honor their sorrow.”

Regina Granne lives and works in New York City. She received a BFA and an MFA from Yale University, and teaches painting and drawing at Parsons School of Design in New York City and the Milton Avery Graduate Program in the Arts at Bard College in Annandale, New York.
