Grant Pecoff
A native San Diegan, Grant Pecoff received his formal training at the Academy of Art in San Francisco as well as Palomar and Mira Mesa College. He soon realized that his real classroom was the world around him.
At the heart of Grant’s painting, he communicates the essence of a landscape and helps us feel the commonality we all share. His expression of light as it reflects on the water is particularly stunning. He makes light appear as if it is dancing on the waves and recreates the movement of the water using electric blues, rich oranges and fiery crimsons. His deliberate distortion of images as they are echoed on the water is whimsical and surrealistic.
Perhaps it is this expression of out universal similarity and oneness which have created such enthusiasm from collectors near and far from Grant’s paintings.
