PROFILE

Gerrit Greve, a third-generation Dutch colonial, was born in Bandung, Indonesia. His family subsequently moved to Zeist in the Netherlands and later in 1957 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 graduated from Elmhurst College with a BFA. His artwork is included in important museum, corporate, and private collections both in the U.S. and abroad, and he has had numerous gallery and museum exhibitions, including two solo museum shows. He has been the subject of several television documentaries, including the Emmy Award-winning KPBS production "Artists in Residence," the network PBS series "American Skyline" and KUSI's "The Artists" series.
