Hartworks Art
A Brief History
Greg began ‘Hartworks Art’ as a sideline in early 2004. A ‘trial’ canvas of Thin Lizzy frontman Philip Lynott painted in acrylics “just for fun” sold online inside a week, and was quickly followed by a similar painting but this time of Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, who sold to the USA. It became clear that there was a demand for his style of ‘Pop art’. As he took a break from touring in 2007 Greg’s art took hold of every moment he had and with his own featured exhibitions in the UK, plus many Film & Memorabilia conventions, his catalogue grew to a staggering five hundred original art sales in under six years. He even managed to find time to open his own art gallery in Sussex which ran for several years before music once again came back into his life, so something had to give, and the art side swapped to a commission only basis and the gallery sadly closed.
In 2009 Greg was invited to be a featured artist at the ‘Philip Lynott Art Exhibition’ in Ireland and his work was purchased by none other than the late great front man’s mother Philomena Lynott, something that is still his proudest moment. His Thin Lizzy artworks remain to date his biggest success and they are owned by fans all over the world.
