Greg Wood is a contemporary Australian artist known for his evocative and atmospheric landscape paintings. Born in Melbourne in 1976, he studied Fine Arts at the Hobart School of Art in Tasmania. He now lives and works on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central Victoria where he is deeply engaged with the landscape that surrounds him.

Wood’s work is not focused on recording the world through observation. Instead, it seeks to evoke the emotional tone of place as it is felt and remembered. These landscapes are drawn from memory and shaped over time by intuition rather than direct experience. Often quiet, ethereal and dreamlike, the paintings are defined by muted tones, diffused light and a reflective stillness. They encourage a slowing down, inviting deeper engagement and contemplation. 

Wood has exhibited extensively across Australia in both solo and curated exhibitions. His work has been selected for several major national art prizes, including the John Glover Prize, Bayside Art Prize, the Tattersalls Landscape Art Prize, the Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize, and the Kate Derum Award. In 2022, he was awarded the John Leslie Art Prize, one of Australia’s most respected accolades for landscape painting.
