Greg Kloehn's work is about taking the grandeur of the world and mixing it with social
irony. Through a solemn, yet playful, rendering of people, animals and
everyday objects, He seeks to explore the relationships that have emerged from
the symbiotic evolution of us and the world. To re-introduce the
viewer to something they are familiar with, yet isolating it from daily
considerations and presenting it as a condition of our lives.
His work is about transporting an idea into the tangible world.
Greg Kloehn about his art works:
The working through process behind a piece and the give and take I have
between my vision, my skill and the material is the relationship I cherish
most. I like some crude essence of the making process and material to
remain, leaving the residue of the moment. I see the marks made by the maker
and the material as a map to be deciphered by the viewer. My work is about taking the grandeur of the world and mixing it with social

Above all, it is good to laugh at a whimsical form or reference. It
loosens the air. Issues can be present without overburdening the viewer.
I
want to retain a spontaneity that humors, yet evokes thoughts and concerns.
