Gregor Harvie contemporary art that explores the issues of our time
“Primeval gods haunt the painter Gregor Harvie" Rupert Maas >> read more
Gregor is now developing an art project about Alzheimer's disease.
Gregor's most recent project was Meme, an art
installation about population growth that was shown in the Crypt under St
Pancras Church in London. Gene Meme raised funds for Street Child Africa
enabling them to offer 10 street children in Ghana a year's apprenticeship
including food, accommodation and clothing to help lift them out of poverty.
Gene Meme was supported by 50 texts about past societies whose growth had
unintended consequences, a public debate about rising population and
teaching resources for Key Stage 1.
Gregor’s
wide-ranging artistic practice includes painting and the
creation of artistic installations which enable the viewer to
engage intuitively with complex subjects. He
is Managing Director of
Ganda Harvie,
a creative consultancy that uses contemporary art and outreach
programmes to help people engage with the themes of our time.
Gregor’s
paintings challenge the boundaries between art and philosophy,
between abstract expression and controlled thought.
Gregor was born in 1969 to a Scottish family and was brought up
in Devon where he trained with Dudley Weatherley, a local
professional artist, from a young age. Gregor has a
PhD in
environmental design and is a qualified architect. He won the de
Laszlo Foundation Prize for Portraiture in 2001. Gregor writes
and gives talks on art and environmental design, he has tutored
architectural students on environmental design and has been an
external examiner for BSc students at the Welsh School of
Architecture.
