Distant Memories
2026
Greg Mike
Born and raised in Connecticut, childhood trips to NYC 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.
Greg Mike has painted murals in Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and the Swiss Alps, to name a few. His studio work is currently on view in galleries and museums in Atlanta, Paris, Saint-Tropez, Taipei, Toronto, Shanghai, New York City, and Los Angeles and more.
Currently based in Atlanta, Greg Mike is the founder and creative director of ABV AGENCY, a multi-platform creative studio specializing in graphic design, street art, public art, custom mural installations, and art direction.
Greg Mike is also the founder and curator of ABV GALLERY, a contemporary art gallery with a brand new location in East Atlanta Village. ABV Gallery exhibits over 600+ artists from around the world featuring both emerging and established artists with a focus on the New Contemporary movement. Founded in 2009, ABV Gallery has become a cornerstone of Atlanta’s thriving art community, showcasing works of art that challenge and inspire visitor.

Artwork description
Built like an abstract comic book, the mural is made up of fragmented panels, characters, movement, color, and energy. Pieces of memories and experiences from different chapters of my life layered together into a single composition.
