This work is inspired by a poem I wrote called "Reseda Blvd." This is an excerpt from the poem that gives some context for the work: The problem is Settling for good enough Is never good enough For the soul It wants what it wants It does’t matter how much You think you can’t do it Thinking small is a waste I grew up as a musician in the suburbs of Los Angeles and and our house was filled with conflict. I had some success for awhile in music before my dream crumbled. After that, I tried to negotiate with the Universe, settling for "what I could be happy with." It was only when I got older, that I realized settling never really works. We have to set our sights on what makes us feel alive and go for it. This work is about shooting for the moon, no matter what happens along the way. There is always a step forward. Dream Big is from a series called "There's Nothing Here Except Everything." This is #2 of a Limited Edition of 8. Each piece is totally unique. I do a significant amount of work by hand in addition to the laser cuts and photographic images.

Rob Grad is known for his bold, insightful 3D photo-based assemblages, sculptures, writing, and music. His heavily layered visuals contrast photographic vignettes of majestic natural environments with textures of urban life, infused with his drawing, painting, and words–an aesthetic largely shaped by his two decades living in Venice Beach, CA. Grad’s work addresses existential issues surrounding desire, self-expression, and resilience in a society inundated by technology, social media, and politics. His new work is increasingly influenced by his early career as a musician when he was signed to RCA Records and appeared on MTV not long after graduating high school. He has shown in museums, galleries, and art fairs from Basel to Miami, and Los Angeles. In 2024 he will be exhibiting at the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA as part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time initiative. Other exhibitions include the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA, Torrance Art Museum, Haute Photographie in Rotterdam, and the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston. He has large-scale commissioned works installed on both coasts, and his work is held in private collections. He also gave a TEDx Talk in Culver City, CA, and participated in a global video project for TikTok China. Rob is a southern California native and lives in Los Angeles.
