Muralist; Painter; Sculpture

Artist Statement - Greg Mort The Arts have always had the ability to transcend language, culture, and the centuries. Since the dawn of our collective human memory, art in its myriad forms has expressed our hopes, our fears, and our loves while also serving as an interpretive record of the world around us. Then as now, the voice of Art remains a powerful communicative tool. In this, the new millennium, the realization that we indeed live on “One World” carries with it responsibilities never dreamt of by our distant ancestors as they expressed their visions on cave walls and with carved fertility icons. We now recognize the fragility of our planetary home and the profound role each of us plays in the drama of life on Earth. Now more than ever the “Artist” will play an ever-increasing part in a cast that must include…all of humanity. The visual arts are in fact a calling out to those who speak the language that is universally understood. One that has the potential to raise awareness, inspire and celebrate our role as “Stewards” of our tiny oasis in space. At this point in history no challenge is more important or more immediate in nature. Our very survival depends on it. As an artist my goal is to use my creative tools to bring the notion of “Stewardship of our Earth” to the forefront of our conversations and consciousness.

Constructions/Collage; Mixed Media Artist; Multiple Art Forms; Photographer

I am a visual artist based in Wheaton, MD, and part-time in NYC. I work in hand-printed B&W photography and photo-based collage. I am best known for my "Architextures" handmade gelatin silver photo collage series, ongoing since 2000. These 2-D and 3-D geometric abstract B&W photo collages are inspired by the architecture and urban landscapes of Manhattan. I also use images of other subjects which evoke strong feelings of a time or place. I have exhibited my work for over twenty years in solo and group shows in New York, DC, and nationwide, and my work is in numerous public and private collections. I was awarded a 2021 Artists and Scholars Grant by the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County (MD), for the creation of several large-scale Architextures photo collages. I was also awarded a 2021 Maryland State Arts Council Regional Independent Artist Award. I served as an Artist Design Consultant for the recently-installed public art installation in downtown Wheaton, MD. I recently had a 3-month solo exhibit, Analog, at Portico Gallery in Brentwood, MD, which was reviewed favorably by Mark Jenkins of the Washington Post.
