Description of the work

GREGORY CHURCHES MAY
He trained in Lleida, and soon published his work in Paris where he succeeded with the work Com a gos mullat.

Gregorio, always committed to painting, has been described by some critics as existentialist or neo-expressionist. And linked to a bittersweet feeling that produces the need to paint or feel part of the painting.

Thus, his work cannot be separated from his experiences, as he is an intrinsically emotional artist. Who cares about the constant experience, the news and the emotions that give you their travels and their day to day.

WORK
His works are almost always marked by his own sensations, which he captures with a firm stroke of his brush in his work. His technique is markedly gestural and moves between figuration and abstraction.
Each series of works leads the viewer to feel a whole bunch of different and universal sensations and feelings.

One of his last major projects is the creation of a monumental 400 square meter canvas, which is on display in the turbine room of the former war machine factory in Peenemünde.

In this place the prototypes of Hitler's war machinery were designed and manufactured. At the expense of the forced labor of thousands of prisoners in extreme conditions, slaves. Today, Peenemünde is a history museum that aims to serve the culture of world peace.

Gregorio Iglesias Mayo, with this work wanted to rewrite the cruel past according to his words: "print the story that transmitted to me the objects that I was finding"

THE VINEYARD OF ARTISTS
Already in 2013 this artist painted the work "Between Heaven and Earth" in the middle of the path of La Vinya dels Artistes. An impressive 60 meter and 5 meter and a half wide mural created daily for almost two months outdoors painting night and day. Under inclement weather, also subject to fieldwork interactions and terrain reliefs. The result is a titanic work, completely linked to the territory of Les Garrigues, with strong dreamlike notes and great personal symbolism.

His other series are: the dogs, the landscapes of Les Garrigues, the interior of the Parisian subways that evokes a tunnel of life, the bookshops. His particular language always refers to the great masters to whom he always pays homage.
