Dr Greg Shapley is an Australian cross-media artist, composer, curator and academic. His internationally-exhibited works have gained widespread praise from critic and punter, alike. The spectacular series, 'Speck of a Pigeon's Eye' has been described by one critic as a 'wondrous digital rainbow'. She went on to say that 'these pictures are transformed into dazzling animated displays of light and colour [that] shine like multihued strands of DNA double helix, and illustrate the beauty which dwells within the most ordinary facets of city life' (The City Hub, Sydney, 2013).

Shapley was nominated for the prestigious Konica Minolta Redlands Art Prize in 2014.

Shapley's adventurous, yet eminently collectible works project a sublime radiance that will be sure to enhance any space.
