the fabulous art of Greg Bromley. full of colors from inner world. I invite you to read this wonderful interview and check more works of Greg here. such surreal as outsider. dig it! 
1. where are you from?I am originally from the east riding of Yorkshire in the UK. i have lived for 10 years in London and 10 years in south wales. i am now living back in the east riding just outside of Kingston upon hull.
2. do you use any particular tools/materials/methods during the working process?I use Indian ink for my black and white drawings. for the colour work i use acrylic paints, spectrum noir markers, pencil and collage on paper, wood and canvas. i will recycle my drawings through photographs printed on the top of collage. i then make new images using my original black and white drawings printed on collage.
3. how is your working process?
I
am a 43 Social Worker with a vivid imagination. I am a self
taught artist and have only recently acknowledged the need for creative
expression; in the last 4 years I’ve been in overdrive! I used to draw as a
child and I’ve sporadically dabbled throughout my life, mainly in drawing. I
certainly use my artwork to help manage my stress and it has proved a
remarkable crutch, if not more of an obsession these days. I have recently
exhibited in Stratford, London with the ‘Letting in the Light’ exhibition and
was Artist of the month in November 2015 on the Outsidein website.4. what do you think about the art market nowadays?
5. do you exhibit your works? how do you place yourself in actual art context?
i
have exhibited my work a few times and i have some of my work for sale
in Tyler and Blacks in Beverley, East Yorkshire. i consider myself to be
an Outsider/visionary artist.
6. is there a common idea that go across all your works?
ultimately
my art lets me escape. its the only time when i am truly relaxed and in
another 'place'. i love the way possible art images pop into my head
and distract me from the stress of my job and it fills me with hope.
certainly id like to think that one day i could make a living from my
creative side...
I
have also started to write a story around the paintings and drawings; this really
has taken on an organic synchronicity. The story, at the moment, feels like
something that may be aimed at Children and young adults, bringing in a touch
of popular cosmology/quantum physics and a bit of Carl Sagan meets Lewis
Carroll...
Many
of my images reflect a multiverse of wormhole leaps and the creatures that
inhabit this expanse. Like all good tales, My narrative deals with the good,
the bad and the plain bonkers. Many of the paintings focus on the symbiotic
relationship between the Matahog (Halkyn) and the Cathexis ID (Oni Jorges). The
Cathexis ID celebrate Matahogs due to their friendship and elixir giving
qualities. In addition to their relationship, my narrative touches on the relationship
with the Skemthrip Tycho Quorag. Tycho Quorag is an elixir shaman who is able
to call wormholes through his cosmic wisdom and heavy elixir use. A character
that hasn’t been drawn yet is Narberth the cosmic parasite, he lives in a
‘burrow’ in Halkyn the matahog’s horns...
In
the infinite multiverse, some creatures use wormholes as a means of traveling
great distances. These wormholes can only be traveled by creatures who have
ingested Matahog elixir. The elixir enables creatures to participate in
communal wormhole leaps, and ensures that their atoms and particles are
rearranged successfully at the other end of a cosmic jump. Wormhole leaps
require a creatures atoms to disassemble on departure and reassemble on
reaching their destination. This all happens in exactly the same moment of time
and the creature will temporarily exist in both places at once (similar to the
earth universe’ quantum mechanics).
