Shane Grammer

Shane Grammer is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges contemporary painting, street art, large-scale murals, and popular culture. With a career spanning more than three decades, Grammer has developed a distinctive visual language rooted in expressive color, bold composition, layered imagery, and the energy of the graffiti and hip-hop movement that emerged from New York City.

As a professional artist with The Walt Disney Company, Grammer is a Disney Gallery artist, creating and exhibiting original artwork for Disney audiences around the world. He is particularly known for his Star Wars artwork, bringing his contemporary artistic style to one of the world's most recognizable visual universes through original paintings, live painting experiences, and Disney gallery events.

Beyond Disney, Grammer has established an extensive career in large-scale public art, creating murals throughout the United States and internationally. His work with the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn, New York, connected him with one of the world's most influential street-art communities. He has also created large-scale murals in Miami during Miami Art Week / Art Basel, alongside projects for schools, communities, commercial spaces, and major organizations.

At the heart of Grammer's practice, however, is his love for painting on canvas. His contemporary work combines acrylic paint, spray paint, airbrush techniques, expressive brushwork, and deconstructed imagery to create paintings that move between realism, abstraction, and graphic expression. His studio work reflects the same energy and spontaneity found in his murals while allowing him to explore more intimate and personal themes.

Grammer's artistic foundation is deeply influenced by the graffiti and hip-hop culture that emerged from New York City. The freedom, typography, color, movement, and individuality of that culture continue to shape his approach to contemporary painting. Rather than simply reproducing street-art aesthetics, he brings those influences into a fine-art practice where the raw energy of graffiti meets sophisticated rendering, composition, and traditional painting techniques.

This intersection of fine art, street culture, entertainment, and contemporary painting has become a defining characteristic of Grammer's work. Whether creating a monumental public mural, an original gallery canvas, or a live painting in front of an audience, he approaches each piece as an opportunity to create an emotional connection through color, imagery, and movement.
