GREG COLSON<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"\uc0ac\ubcf8\n\tGreg Colson’s work is often completed by various “conflicting gestures”. He attempts to “allow the rational systems he depicts to be disrupted and contradicted by the material and physical contexts they are placed in.” Whether his ‘conflicting gestures’ question the contradictions in our society or express the paradox inherent in our lives, he seems to propose a contemplation. Colson often uses standardized systems (maps, charts, floor plans, etc.) and seemingly comments on the intrinsic contradiction that lies in the rational foundation of our society. But this is neither cynicism nor criticism. It rather leads to a unique viewpoint of his own, a playful stare. Each artist possesses or creates his\/her own unique contradiction. When Colson reacts to the world’s inherent paradox with his own contradictory ‘gestures,’ a certain equilibrium seems to be reached. This might be the reason why his work feels like a contemplation rather than an argument.
