Jacob Grant

Jacob Grant is a Louisville-Based Artist and a student who received his BA in Art History, Philosophy at the University of Louisville and is completing his MA in Critical + Curatorial Studies.

Working in installations and painting, Jacob has combined classical techniques against contemporary depictions of the queer man. His artwork has been part of Revelry Gallery since early 2023 and has presented his first Solo Show MASCUERADE in our gallery space. Jacob's artwork encompasses conversations of gender identity, sexuality, and criticisms of hegemonic ideals through reversions of color and symbols in allegorical figures.  In addition to his figural paintings, he is also interested in creating still life studies of cocktails practicing depth and object translucency.
