Grayson Cox, emerging from Columbia's MFA program just a year ago in 2010, takes on NY with a fully formed exhibition at Chelsea's Gasser & Grunnert Gallery (through 23 April 2011). The artist talks candidly with Rush about his early success in a very sane and realistic way, emphasizing his focus on his passion for experimenting with the materials of his art, from carpentry, to bleached photographs on canvas, to sewing.
