“Usually I try to convey positive feelings because I get a positive feeling when I make art. So my relationship with art is more of a fun, playful one. Not that I don’t appreciate deep art by other people, but most of my stuff attempts to look at the bright side of life.” — B.D. Graft
Who couldn’t use a look at the bright side of life these days? Opening this Saturday, February 29 at Launch F18 gallery in Tribeca, is Planted Thoughts, a solo exhibition of new work by B.D. Graft. Presented in collaboration with Abstract Gallery, the exhibition will run through April 11, 2020, and will surely cure any wintertime blues that ail you. Launch F18 shared this video of Graft in his studio discussing his approach to making artwork.
From Launch F18:
Planted Thoughts features an array of drawing and painting, displaying the many forms of Graft’s practice in his ongoing plant works. The exhibition forms a truly positive note, highlighting a sincere sense of optimism, innocence and genuine joy for art. As a self taught artist, B.D. Graft has risen over the years in similar fashion to contemporary artists such as JR or KAWS, connecting with many beyond the art world while also remaining very much a fine art artist. Planted Thoughts continues in this same fashion, both visually and conceptually. Creating an exhibition and experience that can be enjoyed by many, offering a little shared light on the brighter side of the everyday.
