Gregory Euclide’s upcoming solo exhibition, “Assembled Lands”, delves into the intricate relationship between nature and human impact through captivating mixed-media collages. His distinctive technique involves layering and manipulating diverse materials, including foraged botanicals, paint, ripped paper, and photographs, to construct novel pictorial spaces. This approach mirrors a personal way of perceiving the environment, breaking down grand landscapes into fundamental components and intimate details.
The artworks presented in “Assembled Lands” prompt contemplation on our current geological epoch, the Anthropocene, characterized by significant environmental shifts driven by human activity. Euclide masterfully blends recognizable natural forms like trees and meadows with abstract shapes and swirling compositions. This fusion challenges conventional perceptions of depth and flatness, blurring the lines between land and sky, and ultimately, between the natural world and ourselves.
Opening at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City from May 17th to June 14th, this show offers a compelling exploration of how human experience shapes our understanding of the land. Through his unique artistic language, Euclide encourages a deeper consideration of our connection to the environment and the profound changes it is undergoing. The exhibition promises a thought-provoking encounter with landscapes reimagined through an Anthropocene lens.
