For the exhibition GRANTED, artist Sandro Kopp used the album The Art Of The Lie by John Grant as a starting point.
Prior to the release of the record, as a private exploration, Kopp created 30 drawings – three for each of the tracks – in response to concentrated listening to the music. He then discussed with John which ones should be taken further into painting.
The result were nine “Singles” 30 by 30 cm oil paintings on panel and one larger 110 by 110 cm oil on linen painting.
