Gryzybowski, Untitled (Oak), 1990
oil on canvas
50 x 36 in.

Peter Gryzybowski was born in Poland and received his artistic training at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts from 1977 to 1982. He moved to the United States soon after completing his degree. A painter as well as a performance artist, Gryzybowski has exhibited work in Poland, France, Germany, and the United States. His tromp l'oeil images—including an ongoing series of paintings resembling pieces of wood—are difficult to distinguish from the actual objects.
