ARTIST BIO

“As long as there are questions to ask there will be questions to answer, and I for one believe that with the help of Steven Gregory we can also find answers to some of the questions that for whatever reasons can’t be put into words.”

- Damien Hirst, 2005

Steven Gregory was born in Johannesburg  (1952), later moving to London to study at St Martin’s College of Art  (1970-72) and returning there to complete his degree in 1977. During these intervening years, Gregory was determined to engage with tools and to learn traditional skills, which led him to become an apprentice stonemason to the company Ratty and Kett where he worked on Westminster Abbey and Hampton Court. He found himself quite accomplished with the material, and obtained City and Guilds Craft certificates in stone masonry as well as winning the Worshipful Company of Masons Prize.

Underpinning Gregory’s work is a wicked sense of humour, always looking at his potential subjects with a mischievous glint in his eye. Gregory also has a deep interest in the macabre ­– since 2002, Gregory has worked extensively with bones and skulls, sourced from a scientific antiques dealer trading in skeletons once used in academic medicine. These pieces explore themes of life and death, exploring our collective anxieties around the topic as well as striking a more celebratory tone. Perhaps as a result of his early training, stone carving also features heavily in Gregory’s sculpture, although he has also developed ideas in bronze and other media.

Gregory’s  2005 solo exhibition Skulduggery, held at the Cass Sculpture Foundation, 

 received much critical acclaim. He has also contributed to a vast range of major group exhibitions, including Thinking Big, 21st Century British Sculpture, at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Venice (2002-3) and Animal Fantastique at Les Amis du Doujon deVes, Paris (2002). He is also a regular exhibitor at the annual Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition.

A superb addition to the Marvel Darth Vader canon
Format: Paperback
An almost perfect run of comic books, focused around the Imperial assault on Mon Cala post-Episode III. Many familiar faces are here: Vader, of course; Tarkin; Ackbar; Palpatine; Rogue One’s Admiral Raddus; and many more, including Sith, Jedi, and clones (there’s a nice nod to Order 66). Charles Soule deftly weaves an intriguing narrative, fast-paced but also with plenty of depth. The art is also excellent. In addition to the main stretch of the story, the trade also contains the Darth Vader annual, an outstanding Rogue One story that caps things off nicely. Highly recommended reading for Star Wars fans.

Good for Darth vader fans.
Format: Paperback
This book was amazing. I prefribly like vol.4 more than vol.3. The writers of this book have outdone themselves again, another one of Vaders archaic stories and the book was in perfect condition. I highly recommend it.

Charles Soule's Series Continues to Impress and is Arguably the Best of Marvel's New Canon
Format: Paperback
Darth Vader leads the invasion of Mon Cala. With the Empire tightening its grip across the galaxy, Vader is dispatched by his master to the aquatic world of Mon Cala to track down a rogue Jedi who may be advising the planet's king. With the Inquisitors in tow, Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin face off with one of the first open acts of rebellion in their new Empire. Soule is at his absolute best with this series as he continues to explore a version of Vader haunted by his own inner goodness and memories of the past (the book does contain some references to events of the Clone Wars television show, but you don't need to have seen it to grasp the story). Likewise, his exploration of the seduction of the dark side is fantastic with a new Jedi target willing to use deception and war in order to light the sparks of a future rebellion. The final issue of the book may be one of the best Star Wars comics of the entire new canon with Tarkin hunting Vader for sport (on the latter's request oddly enough) across a desolate and hostile planet. The issue isn't what one expects but makes a great deal of sense when exploring the relationship between these two characters (while also explaining why Vader is so deferential to Tarkin during A New Hope). The final addition is a decent annual that sees Vader investigating the Death Star and sabotage of its construction. The annual isn't the best addition to the series (the artwork isn't up to the standards of the rest of the series), but it does introduce some intriguing ideas about Tarkin and Vader's relationship and the events that set up the Rogue One movie.
