Artist Talk | WA Now – Gregory Pryor

Hear from local artist Gregory Pryor for an insight into his artistic practice and his WA Now exhibition. 

WA artist Gregory Pryor has created an immersive new work Looking Glass which draws upon his investigations into isolated landscapes of Western Australia which can be read as meditations upon the residues of country as well as explorations of the role that environmental and cultural loss plays in shaping the landscape.

About the artist

Gregory Pryor is an artist, writer and academic with a practice spanning thirty-five years after graduating from RMIT University in 1980. While painting on canvas and paper has been the main focus of his practice, he has also embraced performance, video, installation and object-based work. In 2003 Pryor relocated to Perth to teach visual art at Edith Cowan University and from exploratory filed trips into the landscape of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, he identified new forms and concepts to drive his practice and to investigate a sense of place and how loss shapes landscape.

His work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, The National Gallery of Victoria, The Art Gallery of Western Australia, The Queensland Art Gallery and numerous corporate, university and private collections.

On Saturday 27 August, the Gallery is open 10am-3pm only as we prepare for the AGWA Foundation Gala supporting women in the arts. Some exhibition access will be disrupted with two Tracks We Share ground floor galleries closed. AGWA Rooftop bar will be closed, reopening at 2pm Sunday. Details
