ArtNWordz

Grant Rosen and Micha Kuechenhoff make up the dynamic duo that is ArtNWordz. This artist team perfectly blends their individual creative visions, inspirations, and backgrounds into remarkable artworks using pop-art, graffiti and impressionistic styles.

Micha, originally from Berlin, was a map maker responsible for joining East and West Berlin roads once the wall fell. She studied art in school and once she moved to the U.S., put her skills to good use as a celebrity jewelry designer. She brings that visual sensibility and exciting detail in her ArtNWords creations.

Grant, from Los Angeles, is a professional Broadway dancer, singer, and actor, as well as a photographer and artist. Originally, his artworks were only seen as dedications on back stage walls of theaters but now have taken on a new life within ArtNWordz. Grant is also a logophile—a lover of words—which comes through in his joint creations with Micha.

The duo’s original artworks are featured in hotels, museums, design spaces, galleries and private collections. The works are very popular amongst first-time art buyers to celebrities all of the U.S. as well as internationally. Micha and Grant are also recipients of the SPOTLIGHT Award of the Red Dot Show 2019 at Miami Art Basel Week.

Micha and Grant’s creative process is nuanced. All of their originals are created with a variety of mixed media techniques. They save spine-broken books like vintage dictionaries, world atlases, and sheet music compilations, some of which are up to 149 years old, that have been damaged by water and fire. Each page is handpicked, then refurbished and mounted on acid-free backing for preservation. Then the main subject is carefully crafted atop the chosen page. No two pieces, even in a numbered limited edition original series, are the same because the words match the images and the images match the paper. Each artwork is truly one-of-a-kind.
