Greg Mike

Born and raised in Connecticut, childhood trips to NYC in the mid-’80s exposed “Greg Mike” Mensching to the creative potential of reinventing public spaces through art and design. Always obsessed with the boundless energy and crisp line work of iconic American mid-century cartoons, by his early teens Greg began using the walls on the streets to fuse these two passions together. Further inspired by his deep involvement with skate culture and his intersections with the design world, he has become known for pieces that incorporate vivid explosions of incandescent color filtered through a Surrealist Pop Art perspective. Populated by gleefully twisted characters, his world is unsettling, mischievous and uniquely captivating. For this mural Greg, without a sketch or a plan, improvised daily solely inspired by the surrounding beauty of Crans-Montana. In 2015 this was Greg Mike’s Longest wall, 80m.
