Gregory Hodge’s paintings navigate the intersection between abstraction and figuration, layering personal imagery with gestural marks and obscured motifs. His works blur the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional space, creating illusionary compositions that challenge perceptions of reality. Drawing inspiration from artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Hodge employs trompe-l’oeil techniques, cast shadows, and intricate surface manipulations to evoke the fragility and temporality of his original mixed-media collages. His recent works mark a shift from pure abstraction to more representational imagery, incorporating landscapes, interiors, and architectural elements informed by personal memory. Gregory Hodge (b.1982, lives and works in Paris, FR) holds a BFA from the Australian National University Canberra School of Art, Canberra, AU and graduated there as a Doctor of Philosophy/Fine Arts. He has had solo exhibitions with Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney and Melbourne, AU; Le Pavé d’Orsay, Paris, FR and Bus Projects, Melbourne, AU. Recent group exhibitions were held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Sydney, AU; L’Ancien Theatre, Beaune, FR; Carriageworks Sydney, AU and Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney, AU. His work is held in public collections like the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, AU; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, AU and the Thrivent Art Collection, Minneapolis, MN, US.
