Swimming Pool Project Space is proud to present New Work by Lauren Gregory.
Lauren is more than a portrait painter. Her untraditional canvases include: fur, wigs and the couch. Depicting a subtle haunting and somewhat disorienting presentation of recognizable faces from the media or more personal interpretations of her loved ones. Often her oils become animations of everyday moments, brush strokes moving frame by frame, caught as a raw reinvention of her canvas. Influenced by a matriarch of artists and from a lineage of landscape and portrait painters, she hails from Tennessee. Now residing in Chicago, she continues to make work after recently earning an MFA in painting from SAIC. |
