Join the artist at this reception to celebrate his solo show at Amos Eno.

This solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Matt Greco brings together new and recent works that position myth not as ancient fantasy, but as a living, contemporary framework—one that continues to shape how we understand ourselves, each other, and the world we inhabit.

Greco’s thinking aligns with ideas articulated by Joseph Campbell, who argued that myth is not escapism but a lens through which people interpret lived experience. In More Cave Painting, Greco treats myth in this way—not as something distant or fixed, but as an active condition of daily life. “I’m never quite sure whether I discover myths or whether they discover me,” he notes, “but I’m drawn to the idea of living in the mythological—not the mythical, but the mythological.”
