Chicago Artist Sells Painting To Dallas Cowboys CFO Shy Anderson

Dec. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Yo complete the ambiance of his executive office in the new luxurious billion dollar Dallas Cowboys Stadium, CFO Sly Anderson recently purchased a painting titled 'Cowboy Lips' from acclaimed Chicago artist Greg Allen Page.

Although Anderson first expressed interest in the painting earlier this year, he and Page were unable to come to an agreement with the piece of art, and so it remained in Page's studio. With the painting permeating on his mind, Anderson couldn't let go of the decor that would complete his furnishings.

"It is an honor to know that my paintings are garnering the attention of top business executives and professionals," says Page. "With the painting being displayed at the executive offices inside the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium, I am honored to think of the vast people who will have a chance to view my work."

Page has always been an artist and was raised in a family of graduate school artists; indipendently studieing art all though high school, college, and graduate school,  Page began full-time painting in 2004. In just a few years he has  established an impressive portfolio of over 70 original paintings.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.

Through his short lived career as a painter to this point, Page has already created an international awareness of his artistic presence as his work has been featured in galleries throughout the world, including Los Angleles, Scottsdale, Maui, Como, Italy and Chicago--where he is based out of.

“For me, becoming an artist has never been about worldwide recognition, fame and fortune,” says Page, who discourages the sale of original paintings. “It is about tapping into my artistic presence and taking things I love, bringing them to life on a blank canvas, and sharing them with the world.”

Page’s paintings have been described as Van Gogh esque, like a Monet with a pulse. Using fine Belgium linen substrates and modern museum quality, eco-friendly oil paint, each one of Page’s paintings is a collector’s piece.

To truly sum up how he views his work, Page states, "Oil paining is not photography. The soul of the painter is in the freedom of his hand and the brush."
