Kenneth Greiner (b.1990) is an American artist and writer working across painting, sculpture, installation, and poetry.

 

Through pilgrimmage, land-based immersion, and meditation, he intuitively creates novel scenes at the intersection of harmony and restraint.​ These works, though at times static and ephemeral in form, move cyclically and seasonally, connecting found objects with locally foraged, organic materials like wood, natural chalk, and stone. From charms and totems, to shrines, and larger spaces for contemplation, what emerges from within these encounters is a renewed conversation with the natural world.

​

Slow migrations through space and topography, informed by cross-cultural research into Western myths, folk practices, and Eastern, earth-based traditions, help expand and give light to fragmented perceptions cultivated by religious thought. In response to learned sexual stigmas and collapsed concepts of gender, a process of queer, spiritual, and bodily inquiry becomes a method of re-discovery, where death, translation, and belief are seen as sculptural acts.​

​​

Born in Enumclaw, Washington (USA), Greiner is based in London, UK, where he recently completed a Masters in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. His work has been shown in group exhibitions across London, New York and the Northeastern US, at venues like Hypha Studios, Apsara Studio, Purist Gallery, Roha Gallery, The Koppel Project, and The Factory-LIC (NY).

 

Additionally, he has reviewed exhibitions and published art criticism for Two Coats of Paint (NYC) while holding residency at programs like Hands-On Projects, the University of East London, and St. Briavels Castle.
