Greg Bogin

Greg Bogin’s work is committed to American art history and the pictorial trends of the 1960s. Artistically, he is oriented towards Minimal and Pop Art. In terms of form and color, his works are stimulated by the logos and trademarks of this period. Bogin’s pictures aim to be intelligently pleasing. Bogin’s pictures combine artistic positions that had hitherto not been brought together, like those of Donald Judd and Andy Warhol, thus creating a kind of painting that could be called "Minimal Pop."

Bogin’s treatment of 60s art and design is shaped by a contemporary view of the "Minimal" phenomenon. In regard to American popular culture, Bogin believes that in such a mediatized world, in which every sign is charged with meaning, it becomes increasingly problematical to create a "meaning-free" images that Minimal Art historically demands.

Recently, Bogin has held solo shows at Marlborough Contemporary in New York, Marlborough Chelsea in New York, Paola Curti/Annamaria Gambuzzi & Co. in Milan, and Leo Koenig Inc. in New York. In addition to these exhibitions, he has contributed to group shows at Bill Brady Miami, The Hole in New York, Galerie Frank Elbaz in Paris, Museum for Konkrete Kunst in Ingolstadt, Germany, The Bruce High Quality Foundation in New York, and State Museum for Art and Design in Nürnberg, Germany.
