ROGER GREGORY
ARTIST BIO
I’m exploring and questioning my personal thoughts about our existence. I develop and create those thoughts into artistic speculations of what we may become.
I express myself by using the medium of collage in a variety of different ways. Often experimenting with a wide variety of different papers, from artist made to found and those papers commercially available.
I use the term "mysterious" to describe my work. It’s unearthly and bizarre and triggers its key purpose that of producing viewer engagement.
I’m living in the Cannock Chase area of Staffordshire, an area of outstanding beauty in the UK. I started my professional art career in 2015 after gaining my BA (HONS) Fine Art at the University of Derby.
