About the Artist
Grant Noren
Ingela Noren and Daniel Grant are the inheritors of a Scandinavian tradition. The early craftsmen who developed their method of "faux finishing" reproduced exotic stones and wood on furniture and building interiors. Over the centuries, perfect representation became less important than artistry and originality.
All of Noren and Grant's works are hand painted on wood. As taught by an old master in Stockholm, they first apply an underlayer of sealing stain or paint. They then mix pigment with a milk-based emulsion, creating glazes that they apply and manipulate with a diverse set of tools. There are metal and rubber combs, many-headed brushes for creating grain and veins, rags, sponges, stippling brushes, and even their own fists and fingers. At the end, a final varnish is applied to protect the work and impart a commanding sheen.
