In-depth Genesis: the creative universe of Grimes
With ‘Art Angels’ incoming, we head into the endless labyrinth of Claire Boucher’s art.
From the beginning, Grimes has always been far more than just a music outlet. For Claire Boucher, drawing, video, and visual art aren’t separate channels; they’re all part and parcel of her strange, sci-fi and comic inspired universe.
“I’ve always been a visual artist,” Grimes told ABC News in the run-up to her art exhibition at Manhattan’s AVA Gallery three years ago. “It feels related because it all comes from the same place,” she expanded, in a separate chat with MTV. “I want to have as much output as I can artistically and I don’t really care what form it takes.”
From limited run comic covers and gig flyers, to vast collections of Russian ballet costumes and 15th Century 3D drawings of hell, there’s a lot floating around in Grimes’ creative headspace. We take a peer into the carefully controlled chaos.
