Greg Wood: Traversing
Wood’s paintings are psychologically and visually alluring; painted from memory, they convey a profound sense of space. Wood's landscapes show little or no evidence of human habitation, purposely obscured and often further abstracted by mist suspended somewhere between imagination and location.
Born in Melbourne 1976, Greg Wood studied fine arts at Hobart School of Art and now lives and works on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, Central Victorian Goldfields. Wood has enjoyed a full-time dedicated art practice for many years and has participated in Artist in Residency programs both Tasmania and in Brussels.
With an extensive exhibition history including both solo and curated exhibitions, Wood's work has been included in several important Australian award exhibitions including the John Glover Prize, Tattersalls Prize, Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize, Kate Derum Award and most recently winner of the John Leslie Art Prize 2022.
Wood’s work is held in important private and public collections, including the Gippsland Art Gallery, the Joyce Nissan and Peter Mac Art collections.
