Greg Breda Biography
In his debut show and solo exhibition entitled SEED, California native and self-taught
artist Greg Breda publicly
embarks on his creative career. Within this body of work, Breda explores his
interest in the strength and beauty of the human spirit.
Painting acrylic on canvas and paper, Greg
Breda abstracts backgrounds against realistic central
themes or “heads” in order to persuade the viewer to conclude
that compelling conditions surrounding us could be perceived merely as
challenging illusions. These heads step forward into reality (realism) in
an effort to describe a level of clarity that is attainable through an
illuminated spirit. “Every person who views these works knows these
people,” Breda
contends. “They are clearly universal reflections of us all.”
Referencing nature and the language of flowers, Breda orchestrates luminous attributes
(seeds) which the “heads” embody. In the artwork Nurture, a
stalwart woman is surrounded by vibrant flowers that declare her essence,
such as a blooming tree that affirms her generosity, purity and
lovliness. An amaryllis speaks of her splendid beauty as she calmly
waters red tulips (a declaration of love). She is a solid soul who has
placed her sorrows behind her (symbolized by the purple hyacinth), as a
small lilly of the valley (interpreted as a return to happiness) informs
the viewer that she is in a state of bliss.
In Rose of Sharon, Greg uses the two hibiscus (rose of Sharon), known for
its ability to flourish in difficult conditions. As if adorned with a
wreath of victory, a young woman wears these flowers together with a
group of three spheres (representing a present triune Spirit) by which
she is empowered; also a recurring theme in his paintings.
Influenced by the contemporary painters Raymond Saunders, Xenia Hausner,
Kerry James Marshall and Hung Liu, Breda
has always been drawn to the creative process, first as a vocalist and
music writer, both of which are evident in his lyrical paintings.
His extensive travels throughout the United States and abroad have
equipped him to tell the stories reflective in the expressions of these
portrayed “heads”.
Essentially what Breda
strives to accomplish within this series, is to encourage the viewer to
envision himself as elevated, illuminated and “big”.
Greg Breda’s work can be
unearthed and discovered in various private collections throughout California.
