The natural grace and beauty of the human form has been the main theme of Adam Grant's paintings since his childhood in pre-war Poland. He has pursued the endless challenge of the figure from these early years when he was deeply moved by the great figure works of the old masters like Michelangelo. Adam has developed his own easy-to-recognize style that expresses the essence of the form with broad and bold brush strokes, a style that has been compared to Cezanne. He chooses a diverse cross section of life as his subjects - musicians, ballerinas, circus performers, contemporay portraits, religious subjects and hauntingly beautiful female figures. Adam Grant has won many honors for his paintings over the years. The Butler Institute of American Art has added three of his paintings to their collection with Purchase Awards. He has won Best of Show in Columbus and top honors in the Toledo Area Artists Exhibit, including the Roulet Medal at the Toledo Museum of ART. He has an equally long record of national and international exhibitions. Adam's paintings are in the public collections of museums, universities, churches and corporations. The American Artist magazine and The Toledo Blade magazine section have featured articles about Adam Grant's paintings. Pictured at right: Draped Mannequin - Oil on Canvas, Dimensions: 36in. x 48in.
