Gregory’s works encompasses life in all its facets.
His unique approach addresses the dichotomies felt in our daily lives.
Gregory’s references span challenging circumstance of creatures to the effect of politics on our lives.
He discovers and presents universal similarities and ironies that the viewer can empathize with.
Gregory’s theme is love, love with all its complications, complexities, and absurdities.
His vast, dramatic sketches illuminate and challenge our perception of the role we play daily on the earth and the significance that we apply to it.
Illustrated in a silence and reserve he holds our attention and through his sharing we become deeply committed to this theme together.
He continually contrasts for us, what is and the perception what we believe to be.
His skies serve as silent witnesses, powerful prosecutors of the scenes which are taking place below on the earth.
We are confronted with loneliness, with silence that stand in contrast to the actual.
Gregory’s artistic dialogue strike a balance that is never overpowering or overwhelming.
It distances the viewer from the evil with reassuring the viewer through his belief as love as a bridge to hope.
The fantastic natural appearances, which reappear constantly, comfort the viewer despite the heavenly accusation.
The diminutive representation of the human appears as a victim but in reality, represents a strength that will succeed and overcome adversity.
Gregory probes this critical time we are faced with today in his work.
It can be humorous sometimes cynical but always life reaffirming.
