New Art Exhibit From Denver Interdisciplinary Artist Abby Gregg Opens at Meow Wolf Denver

Meow Wolf Denver, a company that creates immersive art exhibits, is introducing a new collection of artworks called Beneath the Biophony from local interdisciplinary artist Abby Gregg. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and audio-based pieces. Meow Wolf unveiled the collection with a reception at Convergence Station, the structure that houses the Meow Wolf collection in Denver. They held it during the emo-themed version of one of their 21+ Adulti-verse events on April 5.

Gregg holds an MFA in Studio Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute. She also has a BFA in Painting and Art Education from the University of Georgia. She has previously been the artist-in-residence at the Children’s Museum of Denver. Gregg has also been exhibited at Pirate Contemporary Art in Denver and SOMArts in San Francisco. She also teaches painting at the University of Colorado, Denver campus.

The exhibit focuses on microscopic ecosystems as envisioned by the artist. In the artist statement on Gregg’s website, the artist describes her own paintings as “imagined ecosystems, stemming from the wonder of deep time. Microscopic, amphibious, and submerged unseen realms call out with sparkling uncertainty and a vulnerable urgency.” She goes on to explain, “In my artworks communities of diverse forms populate and interact within layers of toxic residue. Metaphorical biomes connect my unconscious climate anxieties, imaginings of reclaimed anthropogenic waste, and possibilities of resilient, symbiotic futures. Imagery conjures narratives of treacherous, plastic landscapes reshaped by time and vivid decoration.”

Beneath the Biophony will be on display at Meow Wolf’s Galleri Gallery through June 30, giving you plenty of time to check out this amazing immersive exhibit. Gregg plans to move back to her native home of Atlanta this summer to continue her art and teaching there. Therefore, this may be one of the last opportunities to check out Gregg’s work while she’s still local to Denver.
