The exhibition comprises over 60 individual works including large and small-scale sculptures, pen and ink and pastel drawings and prints.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1952, Steven Gregory studied at St Martins College of Art, London during the 1970s, during which time he also worked as an apprentice stonemason with Ratty and Kett on projects at Westminster Abbey and Hampton Court Palace. In 1977 he was awarded The Worshipful Company of Masons Prize. Although he began working in stone his artistic practice extends to include bronze and work in mixed media. His work is held in many public and private collections and he is a regular collaborator with the Cass Sculpture Foundation. He lives and works in London.

The exhibition at Cass Sculpture Foundation Gallery will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue with an introduction by Damien Hirst. The catalogue also includes an interview with the artist devised and conducted by Damien Hirst.

All of the works in the exhibition are available to buy online, they are available individually or in sets. As well as the origional drawings and sculpture, we are also taking orders for limited edition signed prints photographed by Bob Elsdale.

Steven Gregory

Steven Gregory was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1952. He studied at St Martin's College of Art, London (1970-72), returning there to complete his BA (Hons) (1977-79). During the intervening years he was an apprentice stonemason to the company Ratty and Kett, working at Westminster Abbey and Hampton Court. He obtained City and Guilds Craft and Advanced Craft certificates in stone masonry (1975 and 1976). In 1977 he won the Worshipful Company of Masons Prize.

Gregory chose this course of action because of his desire to learn how to use tools. In the early 1970s art schools in Britain devoted much time to the exploration of concepts in preference to developing craftsmanship, which Gregory found frustrating. Leicester Museum and Art Gallery purchased a sculpture from his BA exhibition at St Martin's, and at that time he was commissioned to make a work for Rio Tinto Zinc using machine tools produced by the company.

He tends to develop his ideas in bronze and other media. His intention is to make work that cannot be disregarded, which sometimes results in harrowing images of the human condition. There is also a lighter side to his work where his humour emerges, although the viewer should search in the shadows where there might still lurk the black dimension.

Steven Gregory also works to commission.
