GREG
PARKER
Am. b. 1952
A native of Island Falls, Maine and a well-known abstract artist, Greg is represented in galleries and collections worldwide. Noted art critic, Philip Isaacson, in his review of a recent show commented that Greg "is a master of geometric abstraction." (Maine Sunday Telegram November 13, 2011)
​
The work of Maine artist Greg Parker has as its basis American geometric abstraction of the 20thcentury. He earned his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan in the mid-1970s, and currently teaches painting at the University of Southern Maine. His work is represented by galleries in Boston, New York City, San Francisco, and Portland, Maine.
​
The pristine surfaces of Parker’s drawings and paintings are comprised of finely worked layers, whether graphite on paper, or oil and pigment on gesso panel, as in the two works of art represented on this website. Delicate lines help define his images; in the graphite drawing, these are additive in nature and build to describe geometric form through line and value.
​
Greg Parker’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Portland Museum of Art in Maine, the DeCordova Museum in Massachusetts, and the British Museum in London, UK. He is represented in corporate and private collections internationally.
