Love Language

“The best way I know how to communicate is through color, paint, shape, and symbol.” — Gregory Siff

Gregory Siff is an award-winning American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, best known for his highly emotive style that merges abstraction, pop, and action painting. Using inks, acrylic, and spray paint, Siff creates iconic elements in the form of storyboards, capturing time and nostalgia.

Siff’s works have been featured in museums and art exhibitions across the world — MoMA PS1’s “Rockaway!”, “Vans Custom Culture” at the Whitney Museum of American Art and in luxury fashion house Saint Laurent’s F/W 2018 Collection. Gregory also collaborated with revolutionary fashion brand Pyer Moss, painting pieces live on the runway now archived by The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

“Love Language” is a visual love poem that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers. Using abstract symbols and icons to evoke emotion and memories, Siff invites the viewer to dissect the artworks in the series based on their own experiences in love and life. Each solitary item swirls with the next to create the sheet music of one’s love life — bleeding, dripping, and moving to its own rhythm. POP, LUCK, SEX, and HIGH come together as a multi-part work of art to assemble “Love Language.”

“Love is the role of the dice, love is a melody, love is a fire, love is universal.” — Gregory Siff
