Free Will art in a non-deterministic world

 

Gregor's Free Will paintings are in stark contrast to the Gene Meme paintings which show humanity as an emotionless global collective driven by genes to replicate and spread at any cost.

 

The Free Will paintings are emotionally-charged depictions of transient moments, abstract figures engrossed in their own inner worlds. They speak of a fragile existence. They are sensuous, vivid and optimistic paintings.

 

Fluid-flowing lines and free-floating forms are created by spontaneous bouts of drawing overlaid with freely applied washes of paint. The continued over-layering of these techniques gives these paintings a sense of depth and intense variation that makes the figures appear to float in three-dimensional space, disconnected from the real world, seeming almost to have materialised on the paper.
