Greg Jorss’ exhibition Little Landscapes opens at six pm on the nineteenth of June at Art Post Uki, otherwise known as the Uki Post Office. Showing twenty small paintings of big landscapes until the thirtieth of July.
There are so many different ways of painting a landscape. Some are painted with painstaking realism, others abstracted, some impressionistic. Some artists paint from photos, some from their imagination, others directly from nature.
Greg paints directly from nature using acrylic paints. Laden with painting paraphernalia he finds a vista that stirs him. Sitting down on the bare earth, enduring biting insects and the discomfort of stones sticking into his backside, Greg balances his canvas on his lap and begins to paint, utterly focused on the beauty before him.
Some paintings Greg completes in a few hours of intense work, others might take multiple trips back to the same spot.
Greg’s paintings aren’t postcard images, they are personal and intimate responses to the vast landscape. They are where the outer natural world merges with Greg’s inner world.
As Greg says, “There is something of a home for me out in nature and the more fully immersed in it for me, the more I feel at home”.
Greg studied art at Queensland College of Art. He has participated in multiple group shows. This is his second solo exhibition.
