In Snap Shot, Los Angeles-based artist Greg Colson explores the tension between different kinds of gestures, conflicting notions of intention and accident, the big picture and small details. Colson’s “Pie Chart” paintings draw out the humor and rhythm in our social patterns, reflecting our obsession with efficiency, data, and analysis – which are typically seen in the sleek nonmaterial setting of the computer screen. These woks convey a sense of distraction that is, in Colson’s words, “the condition of our lives in the information age, where the trivial and significant are put on an equal footing.”

Colson’s works are held in collections throughout the United States and Europe, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
