Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, artist Dylan Grey majored in studio art with an emphasis in photography at long beach state college. What he knew about art, he learned from his professors and family. Dylan looked up to his dad who is a furniture designer. He then had a few jobs working as a gallery preparator where he learned how to use a paintbrush, roller, and masking tape. Dylan believes that art is an expression of one’s self, focusing on his or her thoughts. Dylan found inspiration through the things in his daily life such as graffiti, music, buildings, breakups, and suburban life. He likes to play with bright colors and shapes. He enjoys working with a variety of mediums: digital, collage, and experimenting with different processes. Dylan’s favorite medium is painting, but he enjoys mixing mediums. Spray paint, color swatches, tape, glue, coffee, sponge rollers, house paint, experimenting with lightboxes. He also loves using the computer to modify his work. He likes altering his work digitally and incorporating photography in his work.
