Greg Burak
Born 1986 in Haverstraw, NY
Lives and works in Queens, NY
Greg Burak's work explores the possibility of the uncanny, contrasting the temporal and the mysterious through modes of representational and figurative painting. His paintings are a foray into the paranormal as he captures the faltering moment at the threshold between the everyday and the supernatural. His first solo exhibition Visitations at Fortnight Institute, NY received press from Art in America and The Brooklyn Rail. His work has been included in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally in recent years, and he is currently working on a forthcoming second solo show about fate and the uncertainty of situations.
