April 15 to April 21, 2000: PHANTOMS OF LIGHT Studio 10 in Vercelli, Italy (near Milan)

        Entitled Phantoms of Light, Simpson’s first European solo exhibition consisted of digital art,
        video and a selection of paintings and pastels. The paintings and pastels in the exhibition are
        taken from the series of works as the Fortezza di Montalcino exhibition (below).

From April to September, 2000, Gregg Simpson had three solo exhibitions in Europe, two in Italy and one in France. While Simpson has shown throughout Europe in over twenty group exhibitions since 1973, these solo exhibitions signal an exciting new direction in his career. A television documentary on this exhibition entitled A New Arcadia, will be on Bravo TV in 2004 shot in North Vancouver and Italy, in the keep of the famous Fortezza di Montalcino, a castle built in 1361 and the main attraction of the Tuscan town of Montalcino.

August 27 to September 5, 2000: SELECTED DRAWINGS 1978-1999 Salle du Couvent, Seillans, France (near Cannes)

        At the beginning of his career, Simpson was inspired by the work of pioneer surrealist
        Max Ernst. Seillans is the village where Max Ernst and his wife, artist Dorothea Tanning,
        spent the last decade of Ernst's life. The opportunity to exhibit next to the Ernst-Tanning
        archive and the Espace Waldberg, was especially significant for the artist.

The artist would like to acknowledge the assistance given to these projects by the Government of Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
