Gregory Blackstock OPENING PREVIEW WITH THE ARTIST: Wednesday December 5, 2007 - 6pm-8pm OPEN DAILY: Wednesday thru Saturday 11am-5pm CLOSING: Saturday January 26, 2008 WHERE: Garde Rail Gallery - 110 Third Avenue South - Tel.206.621.1055 Gregory L. Blackstock is an autistic savant who creates visual lists. Each drawing presents a category whose boundaries reveal the genius of life's variety. The resulting freehand drawings offer a unique look inside the mind of an autistic man making sense of life through art. The preview reception will feature an opportunity to meet Gregory, have him sign copies of his book Blackstock's Collections, as well as preview his new work. The show features work completed over the last year, which has been a big one for Gregory. In the fall of 2006, Blackstock Collections was released by Princeton Architectural Press, and the year has seen Gregory travel to New York for book signings at the Outsider Art Fair and American Museum of Folk Art, and to meet admirers of his work. Gregory also travelled to Wisconsin for a group show of artists with Autism, and in his time off has taken his usual journeys to the East Coast and Midwest. He has still had time to create a diverse body of new work of course, from firecrackers to turnips, musical sheet music to Vermont maple sugar candies. Drawing is not Blackstock's only talent. He is an accordionist with a repertoire of hundreds of songs and a talented mimic; he is conversant in a dozen languages and is able to recall events with uncanny precision. Although his mother was an artist, Greg has had no formal artistic training. He began making his pictorial lists at age 40, and in 2004, at 58, he had his first gallery exhibition at Garde Rail Gallery.
