A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Steven Gregory has many irons in the fire, a great asset in these visually bombarding morally conflicting times, seemingly effortlessly he creates art that prods and pokes, ignores and strokes and slaps and stuns us into submission. my own personal favourites are the real human skull and bone pieces where just as many humans and pre-humans have done before us for tens of thousands of years, he uses decoration to try to deal with the complexity of human death, a brave attempt to celebrate the unimaginable." "I remember thinking that a lobster on a telephone wasn't art as it didn't mean anything, but to look at the surreal aspects of Steven's work anyway is to read it superficially, ignoring the underlying darkness and sexual power that gives his work its strength. The purely abstract sensualism of artists like Brancusi or Mir? is the engine driving his search in the darkness and as long as there are questions to ask there will be questions to answer and I for one believe that with the help of Steven Gregory we can also find answers to some of the Questions that for whatever reasons can't be put into words." Damien Hirst, 2005 Steven Gregory was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1952. He studied at St Martin's College of Art, London (1970-72), returning there to complete his BA (Hons) (1977-79). During the intervening years he was an apprentice stonemason to the company Ratty and Kett, working at Westminster Abbey and Hampton Court. He obtained City and Guilds Craft and Advanced Craft certificates in stone masonry (1975 and 1976). In 1977 he won the Worshipful Company of Masons Prize.
