Glenn Yessick
Glenn Yessick is a world renowned painter, writer, and digital artist who was involved heavily with glitch art using both photographs of his own, and those scaveneged from the web to create new imagery in digital form. A painter throughout his life, he continues to paint regularly after a six year long hiatus from painting. He creates abstract masterpieces which continue to catch the eyes of investors.

Childhood Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the first son of Marsha Yessick, a highly successful interior designer throughout the Southeastern United States, and Steve Yessick, who is also an entrepreneur, Glenn was encouraged to develop his love of music from an early age, with violin training beginning at age four. Glenn loved legos and was involved with the space legos during his childhood. He sang in the Chattanooga Boys Choir as a young adolescent, and was able to travel extensively with the choir to perform at various venues around the world. He attended Baylor School, where he recieved much of his early artistic training, and upon graduating, attended Clemson University. In college, he studied Architectural Design, and it was in college when he first discovered many artists while working at the Clemson Architectural Library. Panning through books while shelving them, he was exposed to a huge and diverse range of art and architecture. It was also in college when he first started painting and drawing.

Early Work After college, he began painting seriously. Over the next eight years, he amassed nearly two hundred original paintings, many of which have been destroyed by the artist. Some have been sold, and some remain in galleries for purchase. These were the early paintings of Glenn Yessick, and at least one hundred of them were destroyed by the artist himself.

Internet and Glitch Art During his time off from painting, Glenn used his Adobe programs to first create websites to display his art. He moved into blogging on http://frequentupdates.com and has been running the site for the last few years, and continues to post updates a few times a week. His images are made with the help of Adobe Photoshop, and are considered Glitch because the code of the images is being changed using software, instead of manually.

New Work After the six year hiatus, Glenn Yessick began painting again in 2012, having sold a number of paintings since then.

The new style which Glenn Yessick employs in his current body of work is a loose hard edge abstraction based on surrealist and dadaist principles. Yessickart wants every mark to be permanent. He believes that everything that happens, happens for a reason, and sometimes outside circumstances can lead to new developments in the manifestation of the art itself.
