Greg Colson

Raised in Bakersfield, California, Greg Colson lives and works in Los Angeles. His work is marked by a jarringly direct commingling of material and conceptual elements. In his constructions, precisely rendered systems are disrupted by the improvised supports they are placed on, reflecting the precarious nature of perception.

His art has been the subject of over 40 solo exhibitions internationally, including Thomas Park Gallery (Seoul, South Korea), Sperone Westwater (New York), William Griffin Gallery (Los Angeles), Konrad Fischer Gallery (Dusseldorf, Germany), Cardi Gallery (Milan, Italy), Gian Enzo Sperone (Rome, Italy), Sprovieri (London, UK), Baldwin Gallery (Aspen, CO.), Kunsthalle Lophem (Bruges, Belgium), Krannert Art Museum (Urbana-Champaign, IL.), and the Lannan Museum (Lake Worth, FL.).  His work is in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe, including the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (New York), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles), Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Panza Collection (Varese, Italy), Sammlung Rosenkranz (Berlin, Germany), and Moderna Museet (Stockholm, Sweden), among others.
