Artist Statement

Granlund explores the personal experience of natural landscapes, human activity, and contemporary culture. His work utilizes traditional genres of landscape and still life.

In his landscapes, Granlund shares the rhythms, layers and patterns that he senses particular to the site, capturing the bodily experience of place. In his still lifes, Granlund is taking traditional still life objects/motifs and pairing, punning, and counterpointing them with non-traditional still life objects and situations while commenting on our American culture which substitutes and imitates rather than wading deeper into personal experience.
