Greg Auerbach (b. 1985)
Greg Auerbach made his first piece of art while living in a studio in Downtown Los Angeles. Unable to afford to decorate his walls, he decided to try his hand at stencils and relative-collage, making a 6-foot piece of Alfred Hitchcock spray painted over vintage murder and mystery headlines from the 1800's -1960's. His concept was simple at first; to pay homage and respect to the people he admired, by painting them among a bed of their themes, inspirations, lives and societal impacts.
This quickly blossomed into a career in mixed-media, with materials like spray paint, acrylics, bullet shells, ink, stencils, needles, silk screens, bricks, concrete and various created methods of experimentation and play with found objects.
