Collector Snapshot

Midwest is a large-scale mixed media panel created during a defined period of transition in Gregory’s studio practice, spanning work produced before and after his 2018 Senegal experience and prior to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The composition reflects a mature synthesis of layered abstraction, urban-derived visual language, and material fragmentation that characterizes this closed chapter of production.

Provenance

Mending in Time Exhibition (current)

Midwest is currently exhibited at Mill City Clinic as part of Mending in Time, presented within a long-term, public-facing institutional healthcare environment.

Out of The Darkness Exhibition

This work was exhibited as part of Out of The Darkness, a body of paintings developed before and after Gregory’s trip to Senegal. The exhibition documents a period in which trauma, lived experience, and social conditions informed both material approach and conceptual direction, alongside the integration of digital drawing processes into the painting practice.

First of Many Steps Back Exhibition

Midwest was exhibited in First of Many Steps Back, identified by the artist as the final Minnesota exhibition of works created between 2017 and 2019. The exhibition marked the close of a distinct phase grounded in abstraction, collage, fragmentation, and urban-derived visual language, and served as a precursor to new media and spatial exploration.

Midwest reflects this momentum through its scale, its inclusion in exhibitions tied to documented shifts in his practice, and its alignment with the upward pricing trajectory of his mixed media works.

Price Growth of Mixed Media Works

“Midwest consolidates layered abstraction, urban-informed structure, and material fragmentation…

…into a single panel that documents a completed chapter of Gregory’s practice. Its exhibition record and temporal placement position it as a materially and historically grounded acquisition within his mixed media market.”
