From April to September, 2000, Gregg Simpson had three solo exhibitions in Europe, two in Italy and one in France. While Simpson has shown throughout Europe in over twenty group exhibitions since 1973, these solo exhibitions signal an exciting new direction in his career.Simpson's paintings and pastels from 1994-1999 formed his first major exhibition in Europe, entitled A New Arcadia, on view May 1st-May 32st, 2000 in the keep of the famous Fortezza di Montalcino, a castle built in 1361 and the main attraction of the Tuscan town of Montalcino.
The artist would like to acknowledge the assistance given to these projects by the Government of Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Home Page
