All the parts and pieces have been fabricated and painted. Final assembly and lighting will be completed next week. On-site Installation will be just prior to the Grand Opening of Cielo Place, which will be a fantastic addition to the up and coming newly renovated “Race Street” area. Many thanks to the great team who helped make this vision a reality!
Fabrication of the Dancing Arch support system
Painting Studio
Here is a short video showing a snippet of the behind the scenes progress on my Cielo Place Public Art Project, titled “Dancing Arch”. I was commissioned to replace the old Riverside Baptist Church sign, at the corner of Race and Riverside, with bright eye-catching artwork. The old church is in the progress of being lovingly converted into apartments with emphasis on maintaining the original stained glass windows. My design is meant to capture the neighborhood atmosphere, while incorporating an architectural element of the church, as a tribute to this historic structure. The artwork will be gently lighted from within to project the appearance of candles glowing behind stained glass. Installation information will be posted here when finished.
Located at the newly constructed Sunset at Fash Place Apartments on Oakland Blvd. in East Fort Worth, TX. This Colorful Bluebonnet Scene is a 7’ X 14’ painted aluminum hanging triptych mural, which adorns the apartments public courtyard wall.
I want to thank Megan Lasch, President of O-SDA Industries, LLC, Austin, TX for her vision and support during the process. Design by Gregory Beck Art Studio - Fort Worth, TX, Paint by Aaron Smith, BSM Paint Works - Weatherford, TX.
I just finished the design work on this 7.5’ high by 14’ long painted Aluminum mural. We are underway in the water-jet cutting shop with paint pattern prep in progress. Hope to have this one up very soon. It will be installed in the new Sunset at Fash Place Apartment's Main Courtyard. East Fort Worth

Fort Worth police officers took a knee Thursday afternoon as part of a Minneapolis memorial for George Floyd. Officers from East Division Police Station on East Lancaster kneeled in front of public artwork titled, Pieces of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by local artist Gregory Beck.
Pieces of Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow, a multi-faceted painting by local artist Gregory Beck. Located at the East Division Police Station, the vibrant artwork is inspired by the spirit of East Fort Worth and its ties to, and influences on, the City. The overall work, comprised of 27 individual pieces and 8 large scale panels, illustrates a puzzle in progress. Each piece of the puzzle is inspired by East Fort Worth's historic relevance and cultural diversity, showing the evolution of the community in Handley-Meadowbrook.

Created after participating in an exhibition at the New York City Javits Center Art Expo. I tried to capture the energy of the “City That Never Sleeps”. An Abstract Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas with dynamic splashes of color. Artist Signed. Message if interested.
While spending quality quarantine time in the studio, I created small decorative abstract pieces from my Paint-Weaving/Kaleidoscope Style, circa 2004-2006. These are fragments of my larger acrylic on panel paintings, cut to fit 9 ¼” x 9 ¼” contemporary white frame, suitable for desk or wall hanging. If you are interested in a little splash of color and texture at an affordable price, message me.
Priced $35 plus shipping, set of 2 - $60 plus shipping, set of 3 or more $25 each plus shipping. Payment by Venmo & PayPal etc.
Aaron is going through a very tough time right now. Keep him in your prayers and do whatever you can to help. He's not only a championship motocross rider but a very talented painter/designer. Without his contribution to our Fort Worth Public Art project it would never have turned out so beautiful.
