Gints Grinbergs was born in 1962 and received his B.F.A. and B.A. in architecture from Rhode Island School of Design and since, has studied at Massachusetts College of Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. His sculpture has been featured at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Michael Beauchemin Gallery, Boston, and Lever House Gallery, New York, New York. While Grinbergs works with a variety of mediums such as bronze, clay, metal, stone and wood, his preferred medium is stainless steel which has the ability to withstand the elements and corrosion – both of which are enemies of outdoor sculpture. Welding metal spheres and partial spheres, Grinbergs creates modern structures, often making associations with galaxies and molecular structures.
