Having travelled extensively throughout his life, Grant has drawn inspiration from landscapes from Antarctica to the tropics, While attracted to northerly territories (he has lived in Norway since 1996), the subject matter of Grant's bold images varies from marine volcanoes and rainforests to icebergs and glaciers. Dynamic and vital, elemental palettes conjure up abstracted fiery drama to figurative icy stillness. Seen collectively, the work reveals a creative energy that finds many forms of expression. This translates into an original visual language that questions and probes how we see the world around us. Much more than images, Grant's remarkable artistic contribution not only provides paintings that capture the world's beauty, but also extend our understanding of the environment, climate and the fundamental importance of nature.

'What a joy and fascination it has been for me and my family to have been surrounded by Keith’s work and to have known his brilliance and vitality at first hand for a good forty years. Whether in Polar regions, the jungles of South East Asia, or in the vastness of the night sky, he always finds the beating heart of nature’s vibrancy and magnificence. I greatly look forward to immersing myself in the new book, which looks splendid.' - Sir John Tomlinson CBE, Opera Singer
