The Grass Valley Graphics Group
GVGG is an informal group of diversely talented artists working together and independently, inspiring one another and collaborating together on many different projects; exhibiting as individuals and as a group, across the nation and abroad. The sharing of skills is a hallmark of their tie. Members of the California-based Grass Valley Graphics Group work in a broad spectrum of media: found object sculpture, traditional oil painting, computer animation, cast bronze sculptures, mobiles, installation art, works on paper, collage, serigraphy, miniatures, dioramas, murals, glass-blowing, photography, theater, dance, Bunraku puppetry, video, virtual reality, and music.
In line with the rising tide of interest in figurative and high-modernist modes, the Grass Valley Graphics Group's work on the experimental borders of representational painting and sculpture. Not so much opposed as non-committed to the commercially and critically certified styles of abstraction and post-Industrial kitsch art, they are open to many styles and approaches that suit the very contemporary perceptions of its members and their bold visionary stances.
