About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Gregory Deane' (American, born 1938) and painted circa 1985. Framed dimensions: 15 H x 31.5 W x 1.5 D inches This contemporary California Expressionist incorporates fields of color and organic texture paired with free movement and dramatic gesture to express emotion on canvas. Artist statement: “I sometimes have certain things in my 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.” Deane was born in Oregon and moved to California as a teenager he was strongly drawn towards fine arts, particularly expressionism and character studies. Design school brought him to San Francisco where he entered into the world of interior design during a very exciting period, interiors began to be recognized as functional art, contemporary design created the setting for large format contemporary paintings and sculpture. He met his wife Margo during this period and she inspired him to transition to his true passion for painting and mixed media art. Gregory opened his studio and began his first series of paintings, Pages of Time motivated by an Asian influence. The true spirit of abstract expressionism flows through his body of work, color, tone and shadow have always played a fundamental role in convergence with a sense of depth and motion. Deane's work is held in the permanent collection of the Accademia delle Arti del Designo in Florence, Italy where he became the first American in the museum's history to be granted a solo exhibition. The Accademia was founded by Michaelangelo, and remains an important part of the history of art in Florence. Deane's work is also held in the permanent collection of Florence’s Uffizi Gallery as well as in numerous private and corporate collections. (with thanks to the artist's website)
