From The Shadows: Garrett Gassman

From The Shadows, Garrett Gassman
 
From The Shadows is a unique collection that is more then just abstraction and typography. It is a story made from a period of four years in Garrett Gassman's life his bold messages collectively tell his story and individually symbolize moments and emotions that were said or he wanted to say. His goal with this collection is to talk about introspection: how raw emotion can control us, how we must control our selfs, and how we must never reject our shadow self. Garrett visualizes this concept with the use of hidden messages in some of these works while others are bold statements with no hidden meaning.
 

“I find this collection to be an interesting experiment. It’s not a technical painting series; it’s very simple, but profound in its meaning. It collectively tells a story and individually symbolizes moments many of which I’ve felt, said, or thought. I believe this is the beginning of something more—more complexity and depth. My next collection will definitely be more experimental, but it will still carry the messages of my life and what I feel. I think this is just the beginning, and what’s to come next will be bigger and better. I’m excited because, for most of my career, I’ve been a photographer. Now, I’ve found another medium to express myself through—one that is often misunderstood but, just as often, understood by those who truly see it.”
