Lewis Carroll’s Alice novels have inspired artists for many
decades and Alice has become a pop culture icon. “The story of Alice in
Wonderland and its impact on our culture is a part of my personal life, and art
should be a reflection of the person.”
Gregory Dirr said.
Gregory Dirr is a Florida born interdisciplinary artist, who
graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2008 with a BFA in fine
arts and a concentration in painting. His work has been shown in galleries
across the United States, in places such as 18 Rabbit Gallery in Fort
Lauderdale and Scope Miami. He runs an artist collective called
Thought Coalition and also a printing company called PrintDürr. He is currently the art
director for the non-profit organization,
Sickle Cell Natural Wellness Group,
which helps raise awareness about the benefits of eating and living a healthy
and organic lifestyle, as well as raises awareness of sickle cell disease.
Gregory Dirr has made several pieces of works influenced by
Alice in Wonderland, “The whole reason I started doing art is because of my
interest in stories as a child. When I was a kid, stories like Alice in
Wonderland, Dr. Seuss, Grimm’s tales, Aesop’s Fables, those for me were art
because as a child it was more relevant to me than the gallery art I was
exposed to. Those books instantly put me in that other world, so that’s why I
looked at it as high art.”
