Gregory Euclide’s mixed-media landscapes are as visually stunning as they are physically and intellectually complex.  These painted, drawn, and often sculpted objects are not works on paper, as much as works of paper that gradually—sometimes quietly, sometimes explosively—unfold as you look at them. The artist wants people to move through his work, to explore, in his words, “the contradictions between the projections of idealized, picturesque views of landscape and our desire to have an authentic experience in nature.“

Euclide, a 2008 MFA graduate from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, has exhibited his work nationally in solo, group, and juried exhibitions and has received numerous awards, including a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant.  Since 2001 he has worked as an art instructor at Prior Lake High School in Prior Lake, MN.

All events are free and open to the general public.
