Greg Bahr is an artist living and working in Fort Worth, Texas. He received his BFA from Texas Christian University with an emphasis in painting. Whether working with painting, screenprinting, or photography, his work incorporates formal elements such as pattern, color, and repetition. He draws inspiration from everyday, seemingly mundane tasks. He is also heavily inspired by his work at The Amon Carter Museum, where he has worked as a preparator for nearly 20 years. Over the years, Bahr has been featured in exhibitions in across the country including Texas, Colorado, and New York.
Artist Statement
My work explores routine, repetition, and pattern. Using images based on daily repetitive movement, I create work that looks at patterns and routine in human behavior such as those that occur in ones daily tasks, whether its at work, driving, or home.
The repetitive and banal nature of most of these tasks allows them to be dismissed in ones overall scope of life, yet account for a large segment of it. Using repetitive, zen-like processes such as screenprinting helps to mimic these tasks while transforming their pathways or images visually.
Education
2001 Bachelor of Fine Arts, with emphasis in Painting, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas.
