Ian Greig
Born 1952, Sydney, Australia
Lives & Works – Sydney (Eora) & Bangalow (Bundjalung)
Seeking meaning in form and rhythm, Ian Greig approaches painting as a poetic gesture; a means of siphoning the aesthetic and philosophical currency of the world around us. These plays of light suggest a sense of the auditory, where synaesthetic gestures of visual rhythms, timbres and tonalities resemble fleeting musical reverberations. For Greig, the only sound that matters exists in the fractal border between simplicity and complexity. ‘Negotiating this border’, he says, ‘is the hardest thing.’
Greig has exhibited with Arthouse Gallery since 2007 and been involved in over fifty group exhibitions spanning twenty years. Currently the Postgraduate Coordinator at the National Art School in Sydney, Greig completed his doctoral thesis in ‘The Aesthetics of the Sublime in Twentieth Century Physics’ in 2002. He has lectured, written, given many public talks and is an accomplished speaker on the subject of art theory. He is a twice finalist in the Fisher's Ghost Art Award (2024, 2022) and the Liverpool City Art Prize at the Powerhouse Museum (2007). Greig's work is held in public and private collections throughout Australia, UK, Spain and Canada including Government House, SA and Artbank.
