American artist Gregory Siff is best known for his highly emotive style that merges abstraction, pop and action painting. By using inks, oils and acrylic, he creates iconic elements in the form of storyboards, capturing time and nostalgia. His works have been included in MoMA PS1’s “Rockaway!”, Vans selected him to inspire students across the United States with his hand-painted “Vans Custom Culture” sneakers on display at the Whitney Museum of American Art and in luxury fashion house Saint Laurent’s F/W 2017/2018 Collection. Gregory also collaborated with revolutionary fashion brand, Pyer Moss, painting pieces live on the runway that are now archived by The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
