Gregory Deane has been hailed as a visual virtuoso whose every brushstroke breathes passion. His mixed media works, which can range from small to wall-sized, exhibit the artist's natural exuberance. Broad strokes of color may dominate but subtleties are always present in the form of layers of hidden color, surprising textures, shadows and mysterious objects. Deane is a master of composition: "A painting's open spaces are just as important as the areas of thickest paint," he says, "because they create energy that makes the painting thrive as a whole."

Gregory Deane was the first American artist to be honored, in October of 2004, with a solo show at Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence, Italy (founded by Michelangelo in the 14th Century) with a painting placed in the permanent collection of Florence's renowned Ufizzi Gallery following the highly regarded show. His clients today include remarkably prestigious private and corporate collections. Less
