GB Auerbach instagram.com/gbauerbach Greg Auerbach made his first piece of art while living in a studio in Downtown Los Angeles. Greg’s biggest passion is political work.

Unable to afford to decorate his walls, he decided to try his hand at stencils and relative-collage, making a 6-foot piece of Alfred Hitchcock spray painted over vintage murder and mystery headlines from the 1800's -1960's. His concept was simple at first; to pay homage and respect to the people he admired, by painting them among a bed of their themes, inspirations, lives and societal impacts. Thi

s quickly blossomed into a career in mixed-media, with materials like spray paint, acrylics, pullet shells, ink, stencils, needles, silk screens, bricks, concrete and various created methods of experimentation and play with found objects. His style is bold and often confrontational with a twist of hope or irony always present – as in “In A Brighter World” - resin over “acquired” LAPD bullet shells, with an image of a gun expelling not violence but instead swarm of butterflies. The series “Future: No Future,” depicts scenes of ongoing world travesties and their repercussions (i.e. homelessness, energy crisis, global warming). The series is ongoing. Greg's work has been featured from Los Angeles to India, and has become part of collections both private and corporate, as well as featured in The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, Variety and other publications as well as featured on TV, most recently, on the hit show “Empire” on Fox. Greg also toured with the Bernie Sanders campaign after two pieces he made became favorites of media and supporters of the campaign. At 32-years-old, he continues to propel forward, making beautiful, sometimes haunting works, with bold statements and heartfelt care. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts, in New York.

Making some progress on this piece for and our mutual goal of trying to help remove the stigmas around mental health. Work in progress, explanation below.
________
Working with the soon to be opened charity, , on a piece for their inaugural gala. As someone who has seen mental health issues firsthand in others and myself, I’m proud to stand with them as they try to remove the stigmas that surround mental health, alienating people and leading to less seeking care or opening up. If someone has an insulin deficiency or a serotonin deficiency, they should both be treated with consideration and care.
Depression, ptsd, eating disorders, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, ocd, and many other disorders are very real issues that a good portion of the population suffers from at some point or another. And while only some seek treatment, many more are ashamed, or embarrassed because of the stigmas that come with them.
I’ve known people that have gotten better through treatment, I’ve known people that have gotten better on their own, I know people who still struggle with their issues, and I’ve known a few who have taken their live. One common theme among them is that they all needed support at some point.
So while I work on a bunch of new pieces, I’m throwing this one into the mix in hopes of working with in raising awareness and trying to reduce the stigmas of mental health issues. If we can help people grow healthier, and treat each other with some understanding, then maybe we can add a little light to those that are in the dark.
