Grant Gilsdorf is an Ohio born and raised contemporary realistic narrative painter who has harnessed his exquisitely rendered realistic paintings into a visionary storytelling device, that combines images of carefully crafted beauty existing within a brutal and gritty reality. His dark, tension-filled works mirror the narrative driven experience of viewing a feature film, and his expertly rendered paintings leave the viewer contemplating their syombolic significance. Grant Gilsdorf studied at Bowling Green State University and now lives in Columbus Ohio with his wife, Amber, and their son, Coen Grey.
