About the Artist
Jedd Garet
Jedd Garet(b.1955) is an American sculptor, painter and printmaker. Influenced by surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico, Garet uses garish colors in jarring contrasts to explore relationships between nature, man, and art. He combines human figures, classical architectural fragments and abstraction in narrative works, and is known for his amorphous life forms.
Jedd Garet is known for his surreal, dynamic compositions that often blend elements of sculpture, painting, and drawing to create immersive, dreamlike scenes. His work frequently combines human figures, architectural elements, and natural motifs, exploring themes like the intersection between nature, technology, and the human experience. Garet emerged in the 1980s alongside the “New Image” painters, drawing on both Pop Art and surrealism, often with a neon color palette and exaggerated forms that give his pieces an intense, almost otherworldly quality. His style is distinct for its use of vibrant colors and complex compositions, making his work easily recognizable and influential in contemporary art.
