Ploughed Land an exhibition about the modern landscape
Gregor's second solo show took place in the elegant Flying Colours Gallery in Chelsea. Organised by Lena Boyle, the exhibition showcased 40 beautiful and contemplative studies of the contemporary British landscape.
The paintings are minimal representations of Britain's few remaining wild spaces. And yet, despite their sense of remoteness, these are unarguably modern landscapes. There is an underlying sense that even these bleak places are not free from human intervention; they are only as wild as we allow them to be. Gone are the hedgerows, gone are the trees, these are expansive, empty places that exude a haunting, melancholy beauty.
The Hampstead & Highgate Express wrote about Gregor's landscapes, "Gregor Harvie ... seems at ease in empty spaces filled only with silence, or as Philip Larkin would put it, places where "silence stands like heat." Yet, with very little apparent detail he manages to evoke a sense of place."
