Greg Rick was born in 1981 and grew up in South Minneapolis. He received his BFA from the California College of the Arts (CCA) and his MFA in art practice from Stanford University. Developing an imagination for the historical past and a fondness for drawing stories, Rick collapses history while confronting personal trauma. His works exist as reflections of his personal experience while being in dialogue with the wider world. Rick has exhibited widely nationally, with a focus in Minnesota and California, at Stanford Art Gallery, Palo Alto, CA; Patricia Sweetow Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Bass & Reiner Gallery, San Francisco, CA; slash art, San Francisco, CA; Ever Gold [Projects], San Francisco, CA; Kala Art Institute, Berkeley, CA; Hair and Nails, Minneapolis, MN; Rochester Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; and more.
