From The Depths: Dyslexia, Bipolar Disorder and the Triumph of Art
Mind and Soul on CanvasThere are countless ways to approach an artist's work: through society, politics, and the influence of the Masters. Then there is biography. For Gary Horn (AKA G Gray THorn), learning disabilities and mental illness are both positive and negative forces that inspire his subjects and shape his imagery. His life - from a troubled home in America's Heartland, to service in Vietnam, an unloving marriage, and fifteen complicated years in New York City - has been an effort to live fully in the only identity he has ever had: that of a painter.
This book is less about adversity vanquished and bliss attained than it is a narrative of creativity quixotic in ambition, forged in hardship, and triumphant in perseverance. Both biography and monograph, this book is the compelling personal story of a very human man and an introduction to the art of a gifted contemporary painter.
