Artist Statement:
GrungeCake’s Interview with
Illustrator Chris Granillo by
Miss Cox...
GrungeCake: How would you
define “art?”
Granillo: Art to me is a
therapy, helps me vent out
issues through expression
weather it’s street art, oil
painting, sculpture, or
screen-printing.
GrungeCake: Who do you
remember as your earliest
creative supporter and
encourager?
Granillo: My earliest
supporter was within my
graffiti crew — not being
afraid of creating large scale
work, being out there painting
guerrilla style type work, you
don’t know how permanent it
is. The stuff I would do were
mostly characters, before all
there fancy spray can tips, we
used basic stock tips to
paint, which made it difficult
to create thin lines and
intricate designs, so I
started to paint with house
paint, brushes, stencils and
other mediums.
GrungeCake: How do you feel
the economy is affecting your
art/work/life?
Granillo: The economy is
definitely taking a role in
the art scene movement. I see
less solo art shows and more
group shows sprouting; I
choose to make opportunities
to create more work now than
when the economy was stable. I
receive more exposure from
lowbrow collectors;
ironically, I feel more
movement in my career...
