GREG WOOD
Scene Afar (solo exhibition)
Greg Wood’s series Scene Afar is a reflective response to spaces that he has negotiated as an inhabitant, visitor and artist. They are considered abstracted renderings from both macro and micro observations. The work draws him to evocative sites of geography where recognition and contemplation inform landscape experience. Via the act of painting, these works recollect memory and trigger an interaction with locations and subsequent painterly responses.
Influenced by growing up amongst a family of artists, Greg Wood has been an active landscape painter since the mid-90s. This has enabled him to live for a period in Tasmania, travel to Vietnam and Japan and undertake a residency in Brussels. Wood's work has been included in several important Australian award exhibitions including the John Glover, Tattersalls Prize, the Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize and the Kate Derum Award. Wood’s work is part of important private and public collections, including the Joyce Nissan and Peter Mac Art Collections.
