Grant a Cleveland

Confessions of a Conduit Grant a Cleveland

My abstract art is not planned or preconceived. I do not even know what I will paint when I start. I am drawn to colors and textures and the strokes flow unconsciously. As I get further into the painting in the weeks and months that they take to complete, I begin to understand what the work is about. My first book, Confessions of a Conduit is named as such as I feel that my painting is a conduit between my unconscious and conscious minds. My distinctive and unique work stands apart from anything else for a number of reasons. I think the biggest distinction is the written piece that accompanies the painting. The honest and sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful writing is spawned by the painting and always moving with its raw honesty. This one of a kind book features my painting, writing, and photography and is organized into topical sections. This book causes the reader to question not only the artist, but themselves. Immersing yourself in this book truly is a journey you will not regret taking.
