About the Artist

Glenn Tramantano (Seattle) is a mixed-media artist and educator. His witty work deals with issues of sexuality, nature and design. Glenn has shown work both locally and nationally at venues such as Angle Gallery, VerArt Gallery, The Burien Community Center, SOMarts Gallery, and The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. He received his Masters of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis and his Bachelors of Arts from University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Glenn is beginning a new body of work for two upcoming gallery shows in Seattle with the hope to continue developing the series beyond these shows as well. His artistic practice is centered around an investigation of contemporary issues of sexuality: how it is viewed, how it is politicized, and how its historical constructions inform both of these things. Glenn will use the funds provided by his 2011 GAP to purchase said materials. He is new to the Seattle area, and these gallery shows provide him with his first opportunity to show a body of work and hopefully introduce himself as an emerging artist in the city.
