GLENN GARVER


My paintings are a depiction of my perceptions, both conscious and subconscious.

My work is not preconceived with preparatory steps such as sketches or studies, as these would only encumber. Rather, I experience the conception of each painting in the process of its creation. Each painting begins with the excitement of what will happen; some come quickly, others take the long way 'round, lingering and haunting until they come to completion.

Each canvas is singular, yet all have evolved from the paintings that preceded them. Over the past 25 years my work has transformed from representational to minimalist, to my current paintings. Yet there has always been a common thread, with the familiar feeling of clarity I experience while painting the basis for this commonality.
