Grant Leier - If You Know, You Know
If You Know, You Know is the latest collection of works by artist Grant Leier, which celebrates relationships and the essence of shared creativity. This is not a retrospective but a present-tense narrative of an evolving artist. The canvas becomes a vibrant dialogue between Grant and his constructive critic and partner, Nixie Barton. Their Nanaimo kitchen, which doubles as a  studio, is the site of their daily dance of creation.
Nixie's candid observations, such as "You're screwing it up, Grant!" cut through the air with a startling affection that only those who truly experienced their rhythm can appreciate. The couple's exchanges are often as passionate as the art, blurring the lines between a lovers' tiff and a comedian's banter.
Each piece resonates with the rhythm of their unique language—a language of bold patterns, spirited debates, and the resounding affirmation that love weaves into art.
We are excited to offer free shipping across Canada for Grant's latest body of work until February 15th, 2024.Â
