Artist Michael Gregory. Barns America.

Artist Michael Gregory. Barns America.

Not so long ago I met an artist, the main subjects of which are fishing boats. New met on the Internet author - Michael Gregory, in recent years, fascinated by American barns. However, these barns wrote many American artists, obviously, they are picturesque and even majestic.

Michael Gregory was born in 1955 in Los - Angeles. He studied at the San Francisko Art Institute. now lives in Bolinas, California.

On the site of one of the galleries, with which the artist works, saying that it offers a journey through the outback of America. Often depicted in his paintings highway, which runs on the prairie. In the pictures next - landscapes that can be seen while driving on the highway. It is not always just a barn, a bowl - small manor in the landscape. These landscapes Michael Gregory writes not from nature, in the studio. Barn - sign on MDM constructed plot.


"I think that the concept of the sign is important. I use it as a suggestion of meditation. I do not tell the story, and suggest a topic for conversation. I know that these images - a cliche and I like to play with this idea. They are clichés because very firmly rooted in our culture as symbols ... My paintings - collages, composed of personal observations and experience, art history and interests beyond the formal language of painting. "
