Greg Mount - A Lonesome Road
Greg Mount
Showcase Exhibition
Outré Gallery Fitzroy
17 Oct - 9 Nov 2025
Greg Mount is an artist based in Melbourne, Australia.
Greg's paintings occupy a rich intersection of 20th-century nostalgia, urban grit, and striking visual intensity. Through bold hues and carefully composed scenes of an America filtered through the lens of the TV generation, he summons a world that feels both relevant and tenderly remembered. Whether capturing desert highways, pickups, or discarded everyday heroes, he invites us to see beauty in the overlooked and the worn.
Artist Statement
I am not one for explaining the narrative of my work; I like the viewer to find their own connection to what I have composed and I enjoy hearing those fresh interpretations. Having said that, the overarching narrative in A Lonesome Road is around moments of solitary contemplation and thought, often in those times where life feels its heaviest. Figures, everyday heroes, and vehicles that have worked hard, lived hard, and travelled what sometimes feels like a lonesome road. Heroes that have had their day and vehicles that are past their prime. But colour and brightness often surrounds the character, just as it does with all of us, and I encourage the viewer to find the beauty in the smallest of things as they travel their path - be it the sunshine on a headlight or the implied smile of a bear, the joy is there you just have to find it.... or perhaps this is just a bunch of cool trucks, you decide.
