Biography:

I was an artist before I could talk. When I was a child I had a severe speech disorder which shaped my whole life, as I could not verbally express myself until the age of seven. Art became my mother tongue, using colour and form to express my happiness or frustration which is now, subconsciously, deep rooted into my practice. The majority of my work comes from that place. All I consciously try to create is a sense of understanding and expressions understandable to anyone.

“William Grob is a Berlin based artist whose work has always focused on the line between reality and the psychic world. Working with mix media, he collages, paints onto photos, layers his work between the real and the imagined. Often employing text that makes no sense and all of it at the same time, he reminds us of our constant internal monologues when faced with banal situations in everyday life. His work is fraught with satire: from New York street scenes highlighting the prevalence of homelessness against a backdrop of consumerist culture, to projecting thoughts of strangers on trains, there is always an element of levity in their loneliness”
