Greg Colson (born April 23, 1956) is an American artist known for his works and sculptures using scavenged materials.

Biography

Colson was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Bakersfield, California, in the nearby suburb of Oildale with his parents and two brothers Doug and Jeff, who is also an artist. His father Lewis Colson was a social worker but was also a skilled mechanic and inventive with makeshift repairs and adapting materials to new uses – which inspired his son's appreciation of the ordinary and the rejected. The industrial environment of the Bakersfield/Oildale area, and its accompanying attitudes and outlook, also affected Colson – particularly in its contrast to the large urban/cultural centers he would later inhabit as an artist.^{[citation needed]}

He received his BA from California State University Bakersfield where he studied with George Ketterl, Ted Kerzie, Michael Heively, and visiting artists John McCracken, Joe Goode, Ed Ruscha, James Turrell, and Ed Moses. From 1978 to 1980 he attended Claremont Graduate School, studying with Tom Wudl, Michael Brewster, and Roland Reiss and earned his MFA. During the 1980s he apprenticed for artists Vija Celmins, Ruscha, and Wudl. In 1987 he had his first solo exhibition with Angles Gallery. Colson currently^[when?] works and lives in Venice, California with his wife, writer Dinah Kirgo.^[1]^[2]

Works

Colson's diagrams and maps speak to the detached, abstract quality of much human analysis, at the same time smuggling social critique into each work. Roberta Smith of The New York Times described Colson's 1990 debut exhibition at Sperone Westwater Gallery: "In nearly all of Mr. Colson's works, the combination of modesty and grandiosity, of mental exactness and physical imprecision adds up to an odd, sad beauty. Elliptical as they are, his pieces often seem to scrutinize the conflict between the active center and deserted margins of industrialized society."^[3]

Colson's series of ‘Stick Maps’ of cities such as Cleveland, San Jose, and Baton Rouge are built of found lengths of assorted materials; ski poles, curtain rods, plastic pipe, wood molding – the structure becoming a metaphor for the manifold influences on a city.^{[citation needed]} His constructed ‘Pie Chart’ paintings based on socio-cultural surveys, mock analysis. Colson's 'Elliptical Models' paintings incorporate, the ordinary and the profound and suggest preposterous hierarchies using the formal through-line of the circle. Sharon Mizota, in her Los Angeles Times review of Colson's 2010 exhibition at William Griffin Gallery (now Kayne Griffin Corcoran), characterized these works as "grand and hilarious testaments to the leveling effect of data overload. "One [piece] includes concentric circles depicting ‘5 Steps to Happiness,’ ‘Flea Life Cycle,’ ‘The Cycle of Addiction,’ and for good measure, a flange gasket. The piece levels the distinctions between these wide-ranging phenomena in an absurdly uninformative information graphic."^[4] More recently, Colson has designed and created large-scale outdoor sculptures.^{[citation needed]}

Colson has had solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe, including Sperone Westwater (New York), Patrick Painter Inc. (Los Angeles), Galerie Konrad Fischer (Düsseldorf), Gian Enzo Sperone (Rome), Galleria Cardi (Milan), Kunsthalle Lophem (Bruges, Belgium), Baldwin Gallery (Aspen), Krannert Art Museum (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign), and the Lannan Museum (Lake Worth, Florida). Colson's work is in many public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.), Panza Collection (Varese, Italy), Sammlung Rosenkranz (Berlin), and Moderna Museet (Stockholm).^[5]

+==Biography==
-'''Greg Colson''' is an [[United States|American]] artist best known for wall sculptures constructed of salvaged materials.  With deadpan wit, he combines conflicting notions of order and neglect, image and support, the big picture and small details.  Colson has had solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe, including Sperone Westwater (New York), Griffin Contemporary (Santa Monica), Galleria Cardi (Milan), Kunsthalle Lophem (Bruges, Belgium), Konrad Fischer (Dusseldorf), and the Lannan Museum (Lake Worth, Florida).

-==Background==
-Colson was born in [[Seattle, Washington]] ([[1956]]) and grew up in [[Bakersfield, California]] with his parents and two brothers Jeff and Doug.  His father Lewis Colson was a social worker, but was also a skilled mechanic and inventive with makeshift repairs and adapting materials to new uses – which inspired his son’s appreciation of the ordinary and the rejected.  The severe industrial environment of the Bakersfield area, and its accompanying attitudes and outlook, also affected Colson – particularly in its contrast to the large urban/cultural centers he would later inhabit as an artist.  As a student at California State University Bakersfield, Colson was moved by the frustrated meaning he found in the work of [[Pieter Bruegel the Elder]], [[Bruce Nauman]], [[Ed Ruscha]], [[John McCracken]], [[Kazimir Malevich]], and [[R. Crumb]].  He later earned an M.F.A. at [[Claremont Graduate School]].  He works and lives in [[Venice, California]] with his wife Dinah Kirgo. <ref>{{citation | title= Greg Colson | author= Hulten, Pontus and Wegner, Peter | publisher= Whale and Star Press  | year=1999 | date= }}</ref>

-Among Colson’s body of work is a series of “stick maps” of cities such as Cleveland, San Jose and Baton Rouge.  These sculptures are built of found lengths of various materials; ski poles, curtain rods, plastic plumbing pipe, wood molding – the structure becoming a metaphor for the manifold influences on a city.  In another series of constructed “pie chart” paintings (based on socio-cultural surveys), Colson mocks the deluge of analysis that is so much a part of our daily existence by playing up the material and iconographic elements to such a degree that any actual understanding is subverted.  Roberta Smith put it like this in her early New York Times review:  “In nearly all of Mr. Colson’s works, the combination of modesty and grandiosity, of mental exactness and physical imprecision adds up to an odd, sad beauty.  Elliptical as they are, his pieces often seem to scrutinize the conflict between the active center and deserted margins of industrialized society"<ref>{{citation | title= These Are the Faces to Watch | author= Smith, Roberta | publisher= The New York Times | year=1990 | url=http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/05/arts/fresh-hot-and-headed-for-fame-these-are-the-faces-to-watch-art.html?scp=2&sq=greg%20colson&st=cse }}, Retrieved on 2009-6-27</ref>.
