John Grech

John Grech sees himself as a learner, artist, writer, and mentor, who works through words, actions, drawing, photography, painting, film, music and sound, and wood/furniture-making. He became interested in Japanese culture, art, and philosophy when he discovered the work of John Cage while at art school. Cage opened a door to many approaches that are key to his creative process such as the pursuit of imperfection, chance, randomness, minimalism, simplicity, and chaos, all grounded in human happenstance. One of his recent works is a short film about the Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu called ‘Time and Endurance’ (2024).
