Ken Grimes: Alien Variations
“For nearly 40 years, Grimes has been making paintings and drawings, many in monochrome black and white, that examine the evidence of phenomena just beyond the ken of human science. With ominous titles like What’s the frequency? (1997), a probable reference to the 1986 assault on newsman Dan Rather, and text-heavy renderings of everything from galactic radio maps to figures borrowed from Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1893), Grimes’s paintings define a territory between document and paranoid fantasy, between photography and fine art.”
