Field Works 

 

In these mixed media works, Simpson was involved in natural materials mixed with acrylic paste and paint. In this series, painted surfaces were built up by incorporating organic materials  such as wood and leaves along with found objects blended together with acrylic paint and modelling paste. The artist used these elements to heighten densities and textures in this series of painted assemblages. His goal was to create an alternative approach to landscape painting.  

This series reflects Gregg Simpson's ongoing dialogue with the west coast rainforest where he grew up in a densely wooded part of Vancouver's North Shore. Living near a deep canyon amid tall evergreens, the artist's work has long been informed by the encompassing presence of natural forces in these nearly primeval settings.
