LEAVES - Photography Series
Summer is at its peak. In the depth of the forest, leaves are growing big and luxurious. It’s the most vital, unrestrained time of the year. These natural objects, both bodies and leaves, are free, unapologetic symbols. There is no sexual shame, or Adam’s prudery in this forest. There’s only a vibrant celebration of life. It’s a magic moment when nature and nurture unite and triumph over darkness.
Greg’s consistent aesthetics conjure the magical and the enchanted. Drawing on the contrasting subtleties of precise lighting with the endless night in the background, the photos become surreal compositions, and present luminescent visions. “I use the leaves and the bodies to build a shrine and worship the now, says Greg, “because there is only now. Life is climaxing.”
FRAMES - Photography Series
Greg Salvatori organized a large scale collaboration with his favorite living artists and transformed the human body into a frame around the artwork. The result is a uniquely imagined, dramatic photograph that provocatively play with our encounters with art and the nature of creative work. Art is the subject, we’re temporary frames.
Greg, half photographer half painter, uses these hybrid works to develop the dialogue between the different media. This series includes artwork from Adam Peck, TJ Walton, Cassandra Complex, Chris Sousa, Trevor Mikula, Pete Hocking, Paul Rizzo, Gaston Lacombe, Mark Adams, Mark Schianca, James Frederick and Greg Salvatori.
