About

PAINTINGS OF ERIK GRAN

He was born in Finland in 1951, and moved to the United States in 1960.

He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The California Institute of the Arts in 1973, and his Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in 1976.

He primarily works in acrylic on canvas and wood panel. His practice has developed into three categories he refers to as Compositional, Improvisational, and Figurative. Some examples may be seen here. Thank you. (Gran 2011)
