The work of Graham Collins incorporates a wide
array of disciplines, from woodworking and
sculpting through to painting and collage. His
primary output is abstract paintings inspired by a
variety of cultural references. His focus is on the
material conditions of the artwork’s production, and
he routinely incorporates idiosyncratic methods of
fabrication and highly charged materials such as
reclaimed wood, found objects, ceramics, cast
plastic, generic monochrome painted canvases,
automotive window tinting and DIY car paints.
Collins was born in 1980 in Washington DC. He
currently lives and works in New York, NY and
holds a BFA from the Corcoran School of Art and
an MFA from Bard College. His work has been
shown at the North Carolina Museum of Art, Almine
Rech Gallery, Brussels, Mitchell Innes and Nash,
New York, Galleri Jacob Bjorn, Aarhus, Denmark
and Halsey McKay Gallery, New York. A show of
new work will open at Steve Turner Gallery in Los
Angeles in February 2019.
