Gregory Prestegord
Gregory Prestegord was born in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A painter whose work captures the essence of urban life, he draws inspiration from the bustling, ever-moving cityscape of Philadelphia, his hometown. His art reflects the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, atmosphere of city living — sun-baked ballfields, rain cascading over steel and glass, and the raw energy of the streets.
Prestegord’s style merges traditional influences from the "Philadelphia Academy" of art with elements of neo-expressionism and abstraction. His energetic compositions are characterized by splashes and strokes of paint applied with vigor to panels, evoking the unrelenting pace and energy of urban spaces. Through his work, he aims to bring the grit and glory of city life to life, merging figurative elements with expressive abstraction to create dynamic, thought-provoking pieces.
