A native of New York, Greg Giegucz is a multimedia artist who resides and works out of New Orleans. After earning an MFA from the Memphis College of Art in August 2006, Giegucz relocated to New Orleans to draw from its devastated landscape, still recovering in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Fascinated with imagery that combines cities with living organisms, Giegucz joined New Orleans’s rapidly evolving community to study displacement.

Giegucz describes his work as a personal journal of illustrated characters and symbols, evoked from memory and intuition. His art narrates Everyman’s quiet struggle to reconcile his respective place in an unbalanced and fragmented world of human discourse.

INSPIRATION:

1. What inspired you for making the Designer Dog House?

St. Louis Cathedral is what I think of when I think of New Orleans. I wanted to replicate this great cathedral that I spend so much time in front of. I was also thinking about the dog, dog bones and the fall season of Halloween and Dia de los Muertes in New Orleans for the designs.

2. What is unique about your Designer Dog House?

My doghouse is a dog version replica of a St. Louis Cathedral. The inside is a mixture of stars, clouds and what I imagine could be found in the Mississippi River.

3. Please share something about yourself.

My work is a personal journey of illustrated characters and symbols evoked from memory and intuition.
