Anna Gregor Exhibitions and Events
“We observe, in the sense of Seeing, and we observe, in the sense of keeping faith.”
Anna Gregor (b. 1993 in La Mesa, CA) is an American painter whose practice explores the thresholds between vision, memory, and belief. Working from life, Gregor paints complex still lifes of handmade gold mirrors, constructed using Byzantine gilding techniques, layered with etched references to art historical icons like Botticelli, Rothko, and Guston.
Gregor refers to her practice not as representational, but observational: a devotional act of Seeing. Her work meditates on how the eye, hand, and mind collaborate to construct meaning from fragments of visual and cultural memory.
“With prolonged looking (Seeing), anchored by occasional recognizable objects, viewers can ground themselves in a painterly space that must be reconstructed (Seen) in their mind—an ideal space beyond cliché, made accessible to us through a painting that is here, now: an ideal world we can See together, and in Seeing, recommit to the world we share.”
Recently graduated from MFA Painting, CUNY Hunter College, New York, and participating in a great number of group exhibitions around US.
