# Gail Gregg

> Gail Gregg is an American mixed-media artist and journalist based in New York City. Her work includes abstract painting, works on paper and objects, collage, photography and artist books. She is best known for encaustic paintings and works on paper that transform everyday, ephemeral discards - scavenged shipping cardboard and crate lids, orphaned photo albums or library cards - into enduring works that emphasize a minimalist approach to surface and pattern, subtle aesthetics, and the hand-made. These intimate and repurposed artworks convey themes involving memory and reflection, transformation, humor, overlooked beauty, and contemporary consumerism and excess. ARTnews critic Ann Landi wrote of the latter works, "The[se] constructions ask us to regard the dross surrounding us but Gregg's sensibility is one of gentle irony and understated elegance. Recycling hasn't looked this good since Rauschenberg's 'Cardboards.'"
