Bio

Garrison Gist is a former athlete and a graduate of the University of South Carolina where he majored in Art Studio with cognate in Art Education. Before college, his skills as an artist were primarily self taught. His journey as an artist has covered many mediums - from acrylic paint, spray paint, pastels, graphite, charcoal, marker, print and even clay. Although he mostly chooses to work with spray and acrylic paint in my current work, he tries to experiment and incorporate different techniques he has learned from working with other mediums.

A lot of his work is based on popular culture - music, film, text, video games, television or any of the things we look to for entertainment. He likes featuring those topics in his work because it not only allows me to draw an emotional response or connection from it, but it also allows the person interacting with it to do the same.
