Michael Gregory at Nancy Hoffman Gallery
"Northwest Passage"

January 30 -March 8, 2014


The first 2014 exhibition at Nancy Hoffman Gallery is "Northwest 
Passage," new oil paintings by Michael Gregory, opening on January 30th 
and continuing through March 8th. 

For the past decade Gregory has focused on the American iconic 
landscape, including a barn or farm community, a silo, telephone poles, 
fences, fields of hay, cloud or star-filled skies.  His point of departure is 
love of the land, particularly the West that John Steinbeck described in his 
books.  The artist does not seek a "photoreal" representation of the land 
and sky; each painting in oil on canvas is a "reimagined" vision of what he 
has seen as he drives through vast stretches of the Western land and 
skyscape.  Most of the paintings measure 6x5 feet, most embrace color in 
a poetic, subtle and rich fashion.  Most of the works depict mountains 
against a dawn, day or nighttime sky, and through most of the works fog 
floats as a leitmotif.  Nestled in front of the mountains are the iconic 
structures of the West, an old barn or a community of farm buildings 
inviting, yet private.


Michael Gregory was born in Los Angeles in 1955.  He received a Bachelor 
of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute.  He resides in Bolinas, 
California with his wife and daughters.
