Robert Grantham

I make things you'll enjoy living with.

I'm an Austin-based visual artist working under the name Robert Grantham Art. I was raised in Mississippi, and earned a history degree at USM. As such, I often incorporate narrative, memory and resilience in my artwork. I also attempt to portray the Southern Gothic on canvas.

Oftentimes, my artwork reads like a weathered manuscript page that got into a fight with a street mural and won: layered palimpsests of text, luminous metallics, and distressed surfaces that carry themes of memory, resilience, and the sacred made stubbornly contemporary.

I also do a great impression of The Scream. 😁

B.A. in History, University of Southern Mississippi (2009)

Additional studies in data analytics, visual communication, and design. Trained in classical voice and music theory, as well.
