Augusta Stylianou Gallery

Jedd Garet is an American sculptor, painter, and printmaker who was born in 1955.

Influenced by surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico, Garet uses garish colors in jarring contrasts to explore relationships between nature, man, and art. He combines human figures, classical architectural fragments and abstraction in narrative works, and is known for his amorphous life forms. In later work, figures, trees and other more recognizable objects were added to the minimalist flat ground, creating tension.

The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Phoenix Art Museum Phoenix, Arizona; the Tate Gallery London and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City are among the public collections holding works by Jedd Garet.
