Chris Gregson: Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States; Gregson's central painting issues are the expressiveness of shape, the exploration of pictorial and sculptural abstraction, and the relationship between his work and viewer. Geometric forms are his main pictorial element. He blurs the boundaries between the non-objective and abstracted images from nature. His internal dialogue is about the intersection of the manmade and nature. Using a language of simple forms on multiple canvases presented in series are meant to convey that nothing is singular but all exists in a complex web of relationships. Gregson studied at the Studio and Forum of Stage Design in NYC under Lester Polakov, assisted stage designer Peter Wexler, and worked as a stage artist at the Julliard School of Music and Brooklyn's Chelsea Theatre before devoting his time to painting. His work has been exhibited in the U.S. and Europe and appears in many distinguished corporate and private collections including the collection at the American Embassy in Guinea, Africa. An active organizer, Gregson founded the Richmond Curatorial Project, co-founded the Constructs Group, an abstract painting collective.
