Greg Lendeck is an artist whose work is grounded in close observation and sustained attention. He approaches making without a fixed plan or predetermined outcome, allowing each piece to develop through building, adjustment, and revision. Marks, layers, and changes remain visible, reflecting a process shaped by time, responsiveness, and careful decision-making.
Working in the space between organic form and structured geometry, Lendeck’s sculptures emerge through an intuitive, meditative process. Natural elements, constructed forms, and occasional figurative or symbolic components are interwoven into systems that suggest a personal cosmology—worlds that balance the familiar with what remains unknown. Rather than offering fixed interpretations, the work remains open, rewarding extended looking and shifting with perspective and experience.
Lendeck grew up on the suburban and rural outskirts of Rochester, New York, where early experiences observing natural systems helped shape his practice.
He earned a BS in Studio Art and a BFA in Sculpture from SUNY Brockport and an MFA in Sculpture from Ohio University, where he received a full three-year super-stipend. He has taught at the college and secondary levels for twenty-eight years. For twenty-five years Lendeck taught sculpture at the New York State Summer School of the Arts, School of Visual Arts, serving as Artistic Director in 2024 and 2025.
