Gerrit
Greve is an internationally acclaimed fine artist living in Cardiff
by the Sea, California. Born in Indonesia, he is a third-generation
Dutch colonial whose family moved to the Netherlands and later immigrated
to the U.S., settling near Chicago. This multicultural exposure during
his formative years has shaped both him and his art and informs many
aspects of his work. He began drawing extensively under the tutelage
of his parents at the age of three. His artwork is included in important
public and private collections both in the U.S. and abroad. Since 1972
he has had numerous gallery and museum exhibitions, including a number
of solo museum shows. Greve has been the subject of several television
documentaries, including the Emmy Award-winning PBS series "Artists
in Residence." His paintings have been featured in many publications,
including TIME Magazine. Notably, Gerrit's painting; Northwest Territory
is included in the book "1001 Paintings - You Must See before You
Die."
