Collector Snapshot

Transformers and High Top Fades is a 2018 mixed media work that captures Gregory’s shift into more confident, urban influenced abstraction. Stacked collage fragments, sharp linework, and shifting color fields create a sense of motion that feels like a compressed city block in conversation with memory and culture. This piece sits in a key mid period where his visual language became clearer, more rhythmic, and structurally grounded.

Artwork Details

Full Description

Transformers and High Top Fades layers painted planes, collage elements, and gestural drawing into a compact square composition that feels animated and densely built. Warm reds, ochres, teal blocks, and muted violets interact with graphite and ink marks that loop, cut, and divide the surface. Scraped textures and overlapping shapes suggest shifting structures, signage, and spatial fragments. The result is a lively, urban abstraction that balances improvisation with deliberate construction.
