Wordlwide

Gregory slipped into the fabric of Asia in 1984, concluding a cloistered life painting the beauty and banality of the California Dream. Setting sail towards Taiwan and a deeper sense of purpose, he carved name seals out of stone while studying Chinese brush painting and calligraphy with local masters. Wandering from mountain peaks and temple ruins to underwater canyons while swimming with manta rays, Gregory has painted in roughly 60 countries. Through traveling and casting a wide net, Gregory pulls in a diverse collection of colors, cultures and imagery with which he expresses the power of the human spirit. His paintings and colors remind us that, though often challenged by adversity, “everything is going to be okay”.

The OFCH invited a selected number of Olympians/Paralympians to participate in an exhibition in the context of the Olympic Agora in the Nihonbashi neighbourhood in Tokyo.
