Collector Snapshot

Mother and Child is a significant mid career work in Gregory’s catalog. Created in 2019, it merges his architectural language with emerging figurative forms that explore care, connection, and the emotional charge between two beings. Strong contrasts of black, terracotta, lime green, sky blue, and neon yellow guide the composition, while white linework ties the figures into a shared field of movement.

This work has been featured in several major exhibitions, including First of Many Steps Back, the multi campus series Out of the Darkness, and its current placement in Mending In Time at the Mill City Clinic. The repeated selection of this piece highlights its importance within Gregory’s artistic development and its resonance with themes of healing, resilience, and relational identity.

Collectors seeking emotionally layered and narratively grounded work will find this painting an impactful addition to their collection.

Artwork Details

Full Description

Mother and Child is a layered and expressive semi figurative work that brings together architectural structure, emotional gesture, and symbolic color. The central forms of mother and child are suggested through curved contours, directional linework, and overlapping material layers that imply protection, care, and intimate connection.

Deep black shapes provide weight and grounding. Terracotta and lime green activate the emotional field. Sky blue opens areas of calm and breath. Neon yellow accents draw attention to moments of heightened energy. Collaged fragments and textural marks introduce memory, environment, and cultural context. White gesture lines weave through the composition, suggesting the movement and shared energy between the figures.

This work reflects Gregory’s shift toward narrative and relational abstraction, making it an important marker within his artistic evolution.
