“Humanity
has aspired to a great many things, and we have all benefited from
that aspiration. However, when we bring our assumptions, plans and
desires to human relations, we are forever betrayed, not by our friends
and loved ones, but by our misplaced expectations of others.”
March
Gregoroff considers her work as based upon the fundamental human tendency
of Anticipation and Disappointment, and the resultant
joy when we free ourselves of this cyclical burden; therefore, she
attempts to use her paintings to make the Buddhist thought more accessible
to art lovers on a visceral level – to be understood visually,
without betting into the Verbal.
…
The ripe fruit, on the point of decay, and the prettily decomposing
backgrounds of my work represent that tipping point of joyful anticipation
and the ugly reality of all our dreams gone wrong. I find that food
and the way I show it is the natural expression for all of the concepts
that guide my own life; concepts that challenge me while bringing
great peace and happiness…"
Using
oil paints on canvas, March depicts the joy and disillusionment of
everyday life through the metaphor of common objects. Combining abstract
and realist components, she attempts to reconcile the changeability
of life.
You
could see her works exhibited in Toronto, Montréal, New York
or California. Now for the first time March will
show her paintings in Muskoka.
