u s known for painting sculpture drawing printmaking photography movement assemblage conceptual art arte povera greg colson born april 23 1956 is an american artist known for his works and sculptures using scavenged materials biography colson was born in seattle washington and grew up in bakersfield california 1 2 in the nearby suburb of oildale with his parents and two brothers doug and jeff who is also an artist his father lewis colson was a social worker but was also a skilled mechanic and inventive with makeshift repairs and adapting materials to new uses which inspired his son s appreciation of the ordinary and the rejected the industrial environment of the bakersfield oildale area and its accompanying attitudes and outlook also affected colson particularly in its contrast to the large urban cultural centers he would later inhabit as an artist citation needed he received his ba from california state university bakersfield where he studied with george ketterl ted kerzie michael heively and visiting artists john mccracken joe goode ed ruscha james turrell and ed moses from 1978 to 1980 he attended claremont graduate school studying with tom wudl michael brewster and roland reiss and earned his mfa during the 1980s he apprenticed for artists vija celmins ruscha and wudl in 1987 he had his first solo exhibition with angles gallery colson currently when works and lives in venice california with his wife writer dinah kirgo 3 4 works colson s diagrams and maps speak to the detached abstract quality of much human analysis at the same time smuggling social critique into each work roberta smith of the new york times described colson s 1990 debut exhibition at sperone westwater gallery in nearly all of mr colson s works the combination of modesty and grandiosity of mental exactness and physical imprecision adds up to an odd sad beauty elliptical as they are his pieces often seem to scrutinize the conflict between the active center and deserted margins of industrialized society 5 colson s series of stick maps of cities such as cleveland san jose and baton rouge are built of found lengths of assorted materials ski poles curtain rods plastic pipe wood molding the structure becoming a metaphor for the manifold influences on a city citation needed his constructed pie chart paintings based on socio cultural surveys mock analysis colson s elliptical models paintings incorporate the ordinary and the profound and suggest preposterous hierarchies using the formal through line of the circle sharon mizota in her los angeles times review of colson s 2010 exhibition at william griffin gallery now kayne griffin corcoran characterized these works as grand and hilarious testaments to the leveling effect of data overload one piece includes concentric circles depicting 5 steps to happiness flea life cycle the cycle of addiction and for good measure a flange gasket the piece levels the distinctions between these wide ranging phenomena in an absurdly uninformative information graphic 6 more recently colson has designed and created large scale outdoor sculptures citation needed exhibitions colson has had solo exhibitions throughout the
