//about the artist
Ally Grimm (b. 1991), also known under the moniker A.L. Grime, is a Venezuelan-American self-taught multimedia artist living in Denver, CO.
Her love for language and interpersonal relationships led her to study Strategic Communications at WVU, where Ally found herself captivated by the ways in which individuals process the relentless influx of information in our daily lives.
Ally’s signature monochromatic style developed through a practice of pen and ink before evolving onto canvas and later onto large-scale murals and digital installations. Her contemporary work and murals can be found in cities spanning the US including LA, New York, Denver, Miami and more.
Her work has since evolved off traditional surfaces and onto screens to include Augmented Reality (AR) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). She believes that this shift into the digital realm invites viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between opposing forces, challenging preconceptions and prompting a deeper understanding of our collective journey.
