Robert Greco "This Thing of Ours"
Munch Gallery
This event has ended.
Munch Gallery is presents “This Thing of Ours”, a selection of new paintings by artist Robert Greco. Robert works in a variety of media, and is strongly influenced and inspired by his consumption of counter-culture of all kinds. This is the artist’s first solo show with Munch Gallery.
The exhibition consist of abstract paintings that are both poetic and expressive. Greco works with layers, textures, and varying color palets to create dreamlike compositions that inspire introspection and demand interaction. Like the moment a thought becomes a whisper, then a whisper becomes a scream, Greco’s paintings at first glance may appear calm and stoic, but the passionate fervor of the artist’s process quickly shines though. The frenetic brush work and the expressive manipulation of paint on canvas serve as a counter balance to the otherwise peaceful compositions, and highlight the chaotic beauty that confronts us daily in the world. The work speaks on the ever-present dichotomy of existence by embodying the calming beauty of a storm, and the clamor of a blooming flower. The viewer is forced to accept the random nature of inspiration but challenged to find order in the chaos.
