Artist Statement

“”Whether it is graphite or oil paint, realism is a style that has interested me my whole life.  It is
certainly not a new form of expression but no doubt one that I have just begun to explore. To name
all of the artists who have influenced me over the years would be an exercise in futility. Although

much of my work is fairly photo-realistic I prefer to be referred to as a realism painter as I stray in a
number of ways from the photographs I take.

Whenever I start a new work I try not only to create something that people will be drawn to and

Appreciate but also learn something in the process of making it. For me, learning how to become a better artist is half the fun of creating. I can only hope that I will still be pushing my ability when I am 70.”

Greg Haynes, a resident of Boston, earned a BFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School in West Hartford, Connecticut in 2003. Though primarily studying photography in school, Greg turned his efforts to painting in 2004. In changing medium, Greg stayed attuned to photographic quality through realism painting. His paintings of canvas, metal, and glass demonstrate his attention to light and shadow. The mundane objects he chooses to paint seem grand and important in their focused, rich setting.

Inspired by the success of photorealist artists like Steven Mills, Greg continues to explore realism and push his own ability in the creation of each new work.

The Frames
“Woodworking is and art form I have come to thoroughly enjoy over the past few years. I feel that offering a complete work of both painting and frame is something that is fairly unique and gives me the opportunity to expand the possibility of what I can do with any given work.”
