Born in Melbourne in 1976, Greg Wood lives and works on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. Wood’s paintings explore landscape through the lens of memory, creating evocative spaces between lived experience and imagination. His work draws upon remembered environments transformed by time and distance, where details soften and forms dissolve, leaving behind the emotional essence of place. Psychologically and visually alluring, Wood’s paintings invite contemplation and a deeper engagement with how landscapes shape our inner lives. Through mist, diffused light, softened horizons, and restrained palettes, his works exist between abstraction and representation. The absence of human presence and specific narrative allows viewers to enter these landscapes through their own memories, emotions, and associations. Familiar yet unplaceable, they explore the relationship between physical environments and the internal landscapes we carry within us. Wood studied at the Tasmanian School of Art, Hobart, from 1996 to 1999 before returning to Melbourne in 2000, where he has continued to paint and exhibit regularly in solo and group exhibitions across Australia and internationally. He was awarded the John Leslie Prize at Gippsland Art Gallery in 2022 and has been a finalist in the John Glover Prize, Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize, and Tattersalls Prize. Wood’s work is held in significant private and public collections, including the Gippsland Art Gallery, Joyce Nissan Collection, and Peter Mac Art Collection. He is represented by Arden and White Gallery, New Canaan CT US, Bett Gallery, Hobart Tasmania, Stockroom Space, Kyneton Victoria, Otomys Melbourne, and The Finch Project, Edinburgh Scotland.
