Lanning Gallery: Art in All Forms [Sedona Arizona]

Gregory Deane - A featured artist at the Lanning Gallery [Sedona Arizona]
 
Gregory Deane was born in Oregon and grew up in California. he excelled at art from an early age. Design School later attracted him to San Francisco, and he began his working life in the design field. Twenty six years ago he decided to devote his full attention to painting.

Deane specializes in abstract and nonobjective painting, where a brush stroke here or a rubbed or dabbed paint streak there might suggest different things to different viewers. With allusion and visual suggestion comes artistic meaning. Deane says, "I have certain things in mind when I create each piece, perhaps the emotion of joy or tranquility when I choose my colors, or perhaps the influence of the Orient or an obscure European tradition when I layer in bits of paper or gold leaf. This is new art, but tradition is frequently there too."

In the spirit of abstraction, though, the viewer is free to interpret each piece as he or she wishes.

Deane's expressionism has recently taken a turn toward mixed media. By inclusion of items at hand, Deane evokes a grounded feeling of place, whether it's an African jungle or a Chinese market. Deane's work is exuberant as well as dynamic. In addition he combines quiet subtleties, including layers of hidden color, dark and mysterious objects, and surprising shadows and textures.

"Some artists choose to paint the dark side of their existence, and that is their choice if that is all they wish to see. I've chosen to try to paint many moods and to evoke a feeling with my work - joy, quiet reflection, excitement, sobriety - so observers can create the feeling they wish to have. Each viewer can make this art what he or she wants it to be."
