ARTIST BIO

Greg Brown was born in Washington, D.C., in 1969 but grew up in the Dallas area. From 1993-2001 he worked for Neiman Marcus at the downtown Dallas location as the Men's Designer Sportswear specialist. When he left the store, he had many Gianni Versace ties he didn't want to discard, especially since Versace had been murdered in 1997.

In 2007, Greg had the idea to paint with the ties. Thru trial-and-error, what has been created is a collection of Versace Tie Paintings. Each canvas is painted in correspondence to a certain tie and then the tie is permanently attached. Most importantly, each tie is pre-death which Gianni himself had a hand in creating. As time goes by, though, these ties are becoming less accessible.

Over the years, Greg's paintings have been shown in many galleries and featured in the American Airlines' Admirals Clubs in Miami and Chicago. His paintings are in private collections from Beverly Hills to Boston. As of the spring of 2020, Greg is represented in Jerusalem at the Ivantiques Gallery and at the Galerie Beaute Du Matin Calme in Paris.

In the United States, he is represented in Dallas at the World Trade Center in the permanent showroom of Artistic Transfer #555.

In Ft. Worth, he is represented by Art on The Boulevard.

Greg strives to merge the concept of high fashion and unique art together on each canvas.

Keeping the designs of Gianni Versace alive and making people smile are his motivations.
