artist's statement:
"Abstract, surreal, postmodern, are just terms to me. My subject matter is physiological and/or fantastical in nature. Stemming from sub consciousness using whatever is at my disposal at the time; paper, canvas, stone, wood. If it works I will use it to further the work. At times I will use contrasting ideas of ugly verses beauty with colors that purposely have nothing to with what are commonly associated with these ideas. Not for the reason of just being different but to break down tired and worn ideas of associations. Because as in life every perception is different it's the collection of many perceptions that must and can be changed by substituting one for another for this is how cultures can evolve and change using art. One might dispute this as a contradiction, but ones own sub consciousness will work even while doing work with forethought and intent."
about the artist
Little is known about the elusive Greg Latch. Some say he was born in Corinth Mississippi and migrated to Florida as part of a religous cult. Others say he was born on a bubble-gum mine on the planet Mars and is here on a work visa.
Greg has been known to collaborate with fellow Floridian abstract artist, 'Ray Paul' whilst enjoying rock and/or roll.
