Grison's drawings are exhibited in an apparent condition of incompletion to emphasize two conditions of art that are always present: its conceptual transience and its ephemeral existence. While recalling memories of the artist's life, the drawings imagine relics of the mythic ruler of a medieval kingdom.
Brian Grison is a graduate of the Art Department of Central Technical High School. He has undergraduate degrees in Art History and Visual Art from the University of Victoria and a Masters in Art History from Carleton University. After living in Mexico from 1967 to 1969, Grison taught at Central Technical High School for seven years, as well as at York University in 1975. Since then he has taught at universities, art colleges and community colleges in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. Since his first exhibition in 1969, he has participated in solo and group exhibitions at public and artist-run galleries in Ontario, British Columbia, New York, Paris and Belgrade. Grison's drawings are in the collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Surrey Art Gallery, Art Bank and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Since 2004, he has published articles in various Canadian and American art periodicals.
