Greg Eason

3rd addition to Print 100 club

Greg Eason's practice deals with a formal and conceptual dissection of space. His meticulously detailed and characteristically sparse drawings and paintings isolate and monumentalise narrative fragments and translate this into a microscopic frame. Objects become rendered as intricate miniature components within a vast negative space- creating an uneasy sense of depth and scale. His works often depict isolated characters gazing into some far-off yet imminent unspecified void. Objects are also presented as symbols, with eggs and skulls being recurring motifs. The ideas explored within his practice comment upon mortality, spirituality, life, nature and the history of mankind.
