Gregor Kregar was born in Slovenia in 1972 and received his BFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia before moving to New Zealand and gaining a Master of Fine Arts from Elam Art School, Auckland.
Kregar is known for his diverse sculptural practice, working with materials such as glass, stainless steel, wood, plastic and stoneware and often accompanies his sculptures with light installations, soundtracks, photography and video.
Gregor Matthew 12:12 Cup is a series of porcelain sheep in high coloured national rugby jerseys, celebrating the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. The sheer multiplicity of the series and their kitsch colours and scale make us question Kregar’s angle; is he paying homage to the kiwiana landscape, or making a mockery of our ‘national icon’?
