Over several decades, Grimes has developed his singular style--using text, numbers, outer space iconography, and geometric shapes painted primarily in stark black and white--to prompt his audience to consider the possibilities and implications of alien contact with earth. Influenced by the proliferation of sci-fi media in his youth, Grimes has also continued to be moved by popular culture, a motif which intermingles with his interest in outer space in ways both earnest and irreverent. Showcasing art from Grimes's long career, \u003ci\u003eEvidence for Contact\u003c\/i\u003e catalogs the endless variations on a theme produced by an absolutely unique painter during a lifetime devoted to the mysteries of extraterrestrial life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Grimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194486055X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944860554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthology Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Ken Grimes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410996883711,"sku":"9781944860554","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c59ab6fb-8a45-43b8-84a3-7211318d4706.jpg?v=1697538559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evidence-for-contact-ken-grimes-9781944860554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
