Don Gregorio Anton
June 2006
In the word’s of Cameron Woodall, Don Gregorio Anton “explores the possibilities of the spirit and enhances our awareness of its existence. … His work deals with the meaning of self and the spirit within and around that self.” Don creates mystical retablos that look like sacred objects in themselves. They are intimately small and sit on little stands to be viewed individually. Each retablo is one of a kind. During his stay at Light Work, Don touched us with his generosity and humility.
Don’s exhibition record spans coast to coast, as well as overseas. His work can be found in collections across the country, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Consejo Mexicano de Fotografica, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and more. He has given lectures and workshops throughout the country. He currently teaches at Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA.
