About this title

Synopsis

Greg Colson manages to bring back in his works the immediate and direct physical relation that he and the spectator might have with the things and phenomenons that he is inspecting. There is an intellectual vibration that once occurred between the artist and the subject that is preserved in the final work. In fact, there is, of course, an aesthetic element but it is reserved in a very pure form, it is as pure as in an Yves Klein monochrome.No monkey business. In a media-intoxicated world, Greg Colson's works are like a fresh wind from the north; clean, cool, refreshing and sparkling. What a pleasure, an inspiration to start to love art (again).
