ARTIST CV
EDWARD GRAMS JR
Born Long Island, New York
Lives in TOKYO, JAPAN
His photography journey began at a young age but consciously became a major pursuit during adolescence when the artist started experimenting with a camera that had been left unused by his father – with the newfound passion primarily fueled by capturing moments with friends while snowboarding.
Some of Grams’ top achievements include a sold-out debut art collection on leading digital art GALLERY Nifty Gateway, digital art gallery Sloika’s all-time high sale of 2 ETH ($2,500), and having his work displayed in Italy, Japan, Canada, and America. Grams’ creativity has enabled him to travel the world capturing some of the most talented snowboarders, athletes, and musicians alive. Through his art Grams tries to capture fleeting experiences in hopes of inspiring viewers to put down their phones and explore the present.
