Statement
The organizing element of my work is a grid pattern of 16”x12” base units. Connecting these units are straight, angled, and curved lines…similar to a musical staff…that theoretically extend infinitely in all directions. This staff is the armature upon which I can explore my interests in negative space, positive space, light, shadow, reflection, color, texture, urban environments, stark landscapes, order, and chaos.
Greg Eden Day
Greg was born in Brunswick, Maine and grew up in rural Brooks, Maine. From an early age he was fascinated with architectural space, light and imaginary urban landscapes. He enrolled at the University of Kansas where he obtained degrees in Engineering and Architecture. It was during his time in college that Day discovered his passion for painting. Upon graduating from University, Greg moved to New York City where he furthered his painting practice. After several years in New York, he lived and painted in England and Prague. It was during these years that he solidified the ideas that now inform his work.
Day's paintings are in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. He now has his studio in Bath, Maine.
