About the artist,
GERRIT GREVE
Gerrit Greve is an internationally acclaimed fine artist living
in Cardiff by the Sea, California. He is a third-generation Dutch
colonial, born in Indonesia. His family subsequently 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 and has continued since then. Gerrit
is now painting and living in southern California. 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. Gerrit 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” (2007).
