Peter Granados is an American artist whose paintings are a marriage between gestural abstraction and the epic novel. Carefully embedded between swathes of saturated color and a multitude of painting surfaces, the artist depicts complex narratives whose subjects range from Californian esoteric schools to the greek tragedies of Euripides and Sophocles.

WHEN I was a child, my parents collected “Daily Cards” from their spiritual teacher.
Quote #1 On Irises
Daily Card
WE referred to them as “Daily Cards” as they were distributed throughout our community on a daily basis. On each card was a single sentence; an aphorism or quote plucked from the teacher’s many spiritual lessons. Each one was 3 x 3 inches square, letter pressed, and embossed. They were collectible objects, tokenized, often displayed on dashboards and refrigerators.

EACH card was a resource. Each card was unique. Each card represented what was both a fragment of a larger ethos, and a singularly profound observation.
Quote #3 On The Relativity of Wind
Daily Card

LIKE the Daily Cards, these paintings are sound bites from something larger, carefully cut for the sake being read as powerfully singular. In preparation for these eleven paintings, I have tried to think about my short oeuvre as though it were as complex as an esoteric school. How can I learn from my paintings? Does my work convey an ethos? If so, how can I begin to identify this ethos?
