Gregory Grenon
Artist Statement
This is it viewers. What I have here is an important outlet for the resolution of inner tensions. I encourage young painters and those who have not painted, to work in private; to work at home until their individual styles have set beyond premature influence. Think and wonder how much you can improve the strange little drawings you have been making for years if you had paint and brushes.

Powerful, provocative, bold in color and in gaze, Grenon’s portrait-like images celebrate the strength of his subjects and explore the dynamic and expressive qualities of the images captured on glass verso. One of Portland’s most distinctive painters, Grenon’s work is featured in numerous public and private collections including the Seattle Art Museum; the Portland Art Museum; Microsoft Corporation, Seattle; and the Cities of Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.
