Isaac Grigar

My work often draws from the visual language and material conditions of the Texas landscape- the tension between the familiar and the overlooked. I am increasingly interested in how places accumulate layers of history and folklore, and how those layers can be translated through material processes that are physical, psychological, and symbolic. Isaac Grigar is a mixed-media artist originally from the suburbs of Houston, TX. His work spans the traditions painting, illustration, with forays into 3D installation. Isaac is currently based in Boerne, TX, having moved to the San Antonio area to pursue a BFA from the University of the Incarnate Word. He received his BFA in 2022 and then an MFA from UT San Antonio in 2025- both in the Painting and Drawing concentration.
