Richard Grigg

About:

... is an Australian artist with an exacting art practice that spans drawing , painting, printmaking and sculpture. In his work there is an experimental tendency that aims to find the medium that best suits the idea. This has led to him working with- plaster, resin, clay, wood, concrete, fabric, tempera and found objects, educating himself in the practical requirements of each. He works in a figurative manner divining meaning in ridiculous combinations of symbols, finding strange comedy in ritual groupings- birds with planes, floating apples with flames.

As and arts practitioner he has had numerous exhibitions at major Institutions such as Heide, CCP and Canberra Contemporary Art Space as well as artist run intiatives Bus, Kings and TCB Gallery. Further, he has been a finalist in the Mornington Peninsular WOP Prize and the Paul Guest drawing Prize as well as having Participated in Overseas residencies.
