By: C2 Copywriting The online auction will end on April 16, with the live event taking place on April 22 at Alhambra Palace, 1240 West Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois. All proceeds from the auction will go to the Friends of Jones to support the school. “It is an honor and a privilege to be able to take part in such a good cause,” said Gregory A. Page. “It is important to be proactive in helping give the kids a better future, and I encourage everybody to take part in this great auction.” In addition to Page’s painting, auction items range from exotic vacation getaways to a variety of donated items. Gregory Allen Page is a Chicago–born artist who pioneered the artistic movement Chicago Impressionism, a genre influenced and inspired by the impressionist paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago. Painters in this genre study the Impressionist paintings housed in the Art Institute (as opposed to formal art school training) to create art with an Impressionistic influence. Page formed the school of Chicago Impressionism through thousands of hours of direct study of the art at the Chicago Art Institute and a comprehensive analysis of the sketch books of Renoir, Seurat, Sargent and Monet. A painter in his youth, Page studied anatomy and biology before going on to practice reconstructive surgery. He first created art from early childhood to age 18. His early work was custom jewelry. "Going forward I plan to continue to exhibit my work, and expand my reach to the public through online and gallery exhibitions,” To truly sum up how he views his work, Page states, "Oil painting is not photography. The soul of the painter is in the freedom of his hand and the brush."
