Gregory Malphurs is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
“The audacity to look deeply is the basis of creativity. The ability to see beyond the ordinary, getting to what is, in most cases invisible.”
Gregory Malphurs’ work is a deconstruction recipe of emotions, colors, stories, and inspirations reflecting life with its troubles and complications — each part and piece of a puzzle making it whole. From an inside-out view, the work reveals a universal common bond of personal struggle — that life is a series of fragments that we have to make sense of — introspection, fragmentation, complexity of being, dealing with confliction.
Intuitively Gregory feels the need to always challenge myself to go further, not to accept things at face value and never settle — a need to go deeper and look at the places in ourselves we would
rather avoid.
His mission is to make work that allows us to embrace our insecurities without judgement. Making the statement: “Yeah, we’re all fucked up, but we’re doing the best we can.”
Gregory currently work and live in LA.
Gregory Malphurs’s work explores new ways to approach figurative painting and drawing, with a concentration in upending traditional portraiture. I’m interested in the complexities and stories that lie beneath the surfaces of what our eye can see.
