Printmaker DIETER GRUND came to Canada at a young age as part of the wave of post war immigration to Canada. After studying fine art at York University he visited Atelier 17 and Desjobert in Paris determining a life long interest in printmaking. The hand printing press is at the centre of his work providing challenges of size and surface texture. Over the years he has explored the limits of the printed image and text on paper through his own work and in collaboration with other artists. He is represented in Canada and internationally in private and public collections. |
