Greg is an artist currently based in Corrèze, France, he also spends part of the year here in London. The works on display were created in these environments as well as in Barcelona, where he had a three year residency.
This collection of works is something of a journal of his life over the last 15 years or so. The exhibition is called “Different Windows”. I thought this title apt, given my varied approach to capturing my surroundings in a wide array of subject matter.
Displayed here are a selection of Original works and limited edition Giclée prints of his original pieces. Most can be printed to desired sizes, for enquiries please get in touch via email at: genestine.art@gmail.com
Over the years, Greg has twice exhibited at The Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, as well as The Royal Academy in Edinburgh, and at Mall Galleries in London. He has also exhibited many times in the UK, France and Spain.
In 2023 Greg was selected as part of Saatchi arts “Rising stars” feature. This selection included 28 artists whose works had a strong potential to go up in value.
At the beginning of the 1980s, writer Colin Welland famously said “the British are coming” as he picked up his Oscar for Chariots of Fire original screenplay. They never quite arrived in the way they were expected. Instead, the industry and audience went into near terminal decline. However, amidst these turbulent times and against the political and social upheaval of Thatcherism seeds of renewal could be seen dotted across the independent film community; from the arrival of Channel 4 to the rise of maverick distributor/producer Palace Pictures and the emergence of new filmmaking voices. This season presents some of these ambitious and now influential films and filmmakers who redefined British independent cinema and who went against the grain of the decade.
