NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mitsui Fudosan America, Inc. is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Gregory Hayes in the Lobby Gallery of 527 Madison Avenue through April 8, 2022. Located at 54th Street and Madison Avenue, the show is open to the public 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Gregory Hayes' meditative and colorful paintings appear at first glance as geometric patterns or organic-looking colorfield abstractions, painted in a traditional method by brush. However, upon closer inspection the viewer finds the paintings made with countless drips of paint. Further investigation then reveals intricate worlds of swirled color contained in each convex drop. Hayes' style gives the paintings both a macro and micro experience. In his Color Array series, Hayes begins his process with a hand-drawn grid, into which he applies small drops of acrylic paint into each 1/4" cell––similar to the pointillist style made famous by post-impressionist painter Georges Seurat. In his Amalgamation series, he extracts the grid format and drips in an allover approach until the entire canvas is covered. The artist's objective, in his own words, "is to heighten the viewer's sensitivity to subtle variations and to reveal that pictorial complexity can be achieved through a restricted vocabulary."
Hayes received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design and his Master of Fine Arts from Brooklyn College. His work has been exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. He is represented by BLANK SPACE in New York City, Dimmitt Contemporary Art in Houston, Maybaum Gallery in San Francisco, Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea in Rome, Ncontemporary in Milan, and Galerie Deux6 in Paris. The Buffalo, N.Y.-born Hayes currently lives and works in New York City.
Slater Traaen, Mitsui Fudosan America's director of Asset Management and Leasing, works with art consultant Jay Grimm of Jay Grimm Art Advisory in selecting artists for the program. This is the twenty-first exhibition in 527 Madison's ongoing program showcasing noteworthy emerging and mid-career artists.
