Figures in Room
2019 · Acrylic on panel
Part of the Panels series exploring how figures share psychological space through compressed perspective and luminous color.
Future Fish
Technology, play, and hand-built sculpture
Future Fish was conceived and built in just seven days for SuiteNoir—drawings became 3D models, prints were assembled, and select pieces were hand-painted to highlight the conversation between digital fabrication and touch.

About
Connecting viewers through painting, drawing, and sculpture
Glenn McGinnis explores human connection—and the alienation that follows when it breaks—through tactile mark-making. Raised between New York, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, he earned dual BFAs in painting and sculpture at Cornell before spending two decades in NYC building community at the historic @Cafe internet space. He now works full-time in Northern NJ, living with his wife and son and bridging analog and digital craft.
