The Paintings of John Gregg
The Paintings of John Gregg is an event within Melt’s Focus gallery. John Gregg is a graduate of the Royal West of England College of Art. His work is equally balanced between portraiture and landscape, and sometimes a combination of both. It falls broadly between expressionism and impressionism.
Painters that have influenced his work include: Kokoschka, Degas, the post-impressionists, as well as British schools of painting indicative of the work of Sutherland, Augustus John, Eardley, Freud, and others of that period.
He works mainly from sketches, water colour notes and photographs for landscapes and model sketches for portraiture.
John Gregg perceives a painting as a crystallization of mood, time, and space.
