Gregory Beck has devoted his life to art. Along with his unique, vibrant paintings in oil and acrylic, in recent years, he has focused on figurative sculpture. Beck traveled Europe surrounding himself with the works of Renaissance masters. Self-taught, he spent time sculpting in Florence, Italy, inspired by the city and it’s timeless art treasures.

Working strictly from imagination, each sculpture is striking in its composition—with powerfully emphasized human anatomy—revealing Beck’s perceptive understanding of physiology, human relationships, and emotion.

I am dedicated to presenting art that adds a degree of beauty, mystery, and wonder into life and I am excited by the prospect of creating avenues of visual stimulation for public enjoyment.” GRB
