Paris 2019 Charity Art Exhibition

Peter Gric
In the early nineties, Peter Gric started to discover the possibilities of computer graphics for his paintings.
From then on his organic-surreal visual imagery was enriched by complex architectural structures and artifacts.
Instead of using pencils and his sketchbook, he began to design his compositions with a 3D visualization
software. He started to transfer the virtual reality into painting and consequently found within
this fusion his very unique and distinctive style.
Peter was born in Brno, Czech Republic, in 1968 as the only child of the artist married couple
Ludmila and Jaroslav Gric. In 1988 he came to Vienna and started to study at the Academy of Fine Arts
in the master class of Prof. Arik Brauer. During his studies he participated in numerous group exhibitions
and started to successfully sell his paintings. He finished his studies in 1993 and earned a Masters degree
in Fine Arts. In 2009 Peter moved from Vienna to Oberhöflein at the Hohe Wand plateau
near the Eastern Alps. He has two daughters, Emilia (2002) and Natalia (2005).
In 2010 Gric has been working on Concept Design for Guillermo del Toro’s film project
At the Mountains of Madness. His artwork is also included in the director’s private art collection.
From 2011 to 2015 Gric had a teaching assignment at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
His works have been exhibited internationally and are found within numerous
private and public collections.
