#self-portrait

Known for her layered and narrative based figuration that blends observation, memory and fantasy, Gregor works with the immediacy of gouache, recording potted plants, figurines and self-portraits. The self-portraits are often painted in front of larger, narrative-based works in progress, creating layers and connecting the various parts of her practice. These works are sites of play, discovery and experimentation, a space where instinct surfaces, later to be folded back into more ambitious compositions.

William Dobson, a prominent painter of the 17th century, became the court artist for the exiled Charles I but died in poverty, leaving only around 60 paintings.
