Gregory M. Gómez (b. 1958, Buffalo, NY) is a sculptor and painter from a family of physicians and scientists. From a young age, his family moved several times, living in Cuba, Detroit, Minnesota, Iowa, St. Louis, and Baltimore. Eventually, he settled in Boston.

From singular and gallery-scale relief sculpture installations, Gómez moved into creating sculpture for public spaces. His body of work for public sites includes works for Harvard Medical School, The Challenger Learning Center in Tallahassee, Florida, and the Addison Elevated Train Station and Austin Branch Library in Chicago, Illinois. Permanent sculptural works have been installed in the Williamson College of Business Administration, in Ohio, and outside Grinnell College’s Humanities and Social Science Center, in Grinnell, Iowa. Counter Rotation, a collaborative work for the transit center in Montpelier, Vermont, employs a rotating, carved granite bench that activates a split-flap sign of 20 unique and didactic messages with every rotation.

Gómez has shifted in the last few years to experimenting with cast concrete to make geometric forms with more organic colors and textures.

Over the course of his career, he has taught at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore, The Rhode Island School of Design, and Wellesley and Wheelock Colleges, in Boston, recently retiring from his position as Associate Faculty member and Chair of Sculpture at Boston University.
