GREG MALLYON
Greg Mallyon is a painter and printmaker who works from his studio in Daylesford, rural Australia. His abstract topographical images are inspired by an aerial perspective of the landscape below and often incorporate the shapes and textures found in nature. His life story includes constant travel and a rich exposure to European , Asian , Middle Eastern and our own Indigenous culture.
Greg’s early career began with his first solo exhibition in Provence, France. It was followed by a group exhibition in Rome ,a touring exhibition in Hamburg, Wurtzburg and Dortmund ,Germany and a solo exhibition in Zagreb, Croatia. This international exposure and success led to interest within the Australian art world. Representation followed with a prestigious Melbourne gallery culminating in four sell out exhibitions and a flying start for a young artist.

He has participated in over 80 group exhibitions including locations such as Barcelona , Venice, and Taipei and also locally at The National Gallery of Victoria.
