Quinn Girard
Region: Pacific Coast
City / State: Albany, CA
Quinn Girard is an emerging painter and sculptor whose work addresses and combines a wide variety of topics, including industrialization, technology, and mythology, as well internet aesthetics and cultures. His current work is primarily concerned with themes of re-enchantment, folklore, and animism. It explores how these older worldviews can be applied to present day technologies and environments and provides speculative frameworks through which to view the contemporary world. These themes are rendered via a playful style of cartoon-abstraction influenced by the history of Bay Area Funk art, underground comix, and the Mission School.
