Garrett's paintings combine abstraction and typography to explore the intricacies of human emotion, introspection, and the stories we carry. Through bold statements and subtle, hidden messages, his art navigates themes of raw emotion, self-mastery, and the embrace of the shadow self—the parts of us we often overlook or resist. Each piece serves as a reflection of moments and emotions, capturing what was said, unsaid, or longed to be expressed. Garrett’s work invites viewers into a dialogue about the power of vulnerability and the ways we interact with our inner worlds. By balancing stark declarations with nuanced layers of meaning, his art creates space for both personal interpretation and universal connection, offering an evocative, enduring experience.
