Gregor Kregar Biography

Gregor Kregar is a true multi-media artist. He employs glass, stainless steel and plastic as well as familiar found objects such as glass bottles and recycled cardboard among other materials to create work. These he uses to mould and shape forms in all shapes and sizes that literally and symbolically reflect the world in which they are placed. He is well known for his sculpture - usually large scale, site specific work - which makes the audience question their role as the viewer.

Kregar uses multiple objects (such as in his 2008 work Vanish) and multiple views (as in Piercing The Clouds, 2008) to heighten the depth and meaning within his art. Piercing The Clouds, used stainless steel, video and lambda print photographs to create angular cloud formations that looks at the idea of multiple points of view. The clouds are site specific pieces anchored to the walls and floor of the space they inhabit. Their surfaces are reflective and the viewer can see the ceiling, ground and themselves in the one formation. He also works in video and photography which both inform and are informed by his sculptural work.

Kregar gained his BFA at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and his MFA at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland. He has exhibited internationally in solo and group shows and has engaged in many public commissions since the early 1990’s.
