Gregory Eltringham is a painting professor, writer, musician, and practicing artist.

Over the past two decades the figure has served as a vehicle of continuous investigation in Eltringham’s studio practice, and the work has always been closely tied to personal experiences and reaction to outside forces. His current production is organized around a variety of motifs addressing specific conceptual concerns including issues of gender, privilege, identity, and politics. The work comments and reflects on social dynamics, questionable behavior, habitation, and the limits of personal comfort. The overall practice continues to engage with the legacy and relevance of painting, positioned in relation to historic models with awareness of the current time and circumstances. Eltringham continues to question the current dialog regarding painting not being able to express the moment. He states, “I understand the argument, but I don’t buy it.”

Gregory Eltringham (b. 1964 in Hartford, Connecticut, and resides in Savannah, Georgia) graduated from the Art Institute of Boston, received a BA from Northeastern University, and an MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design. He taught in Florida and Missouri for fifteen years before moving back to Savannah in 2005, where he is currently Professor of Painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He is represented by Alan Avery Art Company.
