Jude Griebel is an artist of settler ancestry who works between Bergen; Treaty 7 Territory; and Brooklyn NY; Land of the Lenape People. Using techniques such as carving, modeling, and constructing miniature elements, he creates intensively detailed figurative sculptures that visualize our entanglement with the surrounding world. In his works, landscapes, the species we affect, and the waste we create, coalesce in vivid forms that illustrate the reach of our impact and consumption habits. Both harbingers of ruin and agents of transformation, his works build on art historical traditions of the anthropomorphic body to reflect a planet in a state of crisis.
Griebel’s work has completed numerous residencies including Pioneer Works, New York; ISCP, New York; The Studios of MASS MoCA, North Adams and HALLE 14 Center for Contemporary Art, Leipzig. Recent exhibitions include the Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada; the International Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago; Galerie Sturm, Nuremberg; and the Spinnerei Archiv Massiv, Leipzig. Griebel’s work has been supported by major grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Canada Council for the Arts and he is a three-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant. His work has been collected internationally by institutions that include the Arsenal Contemporary Art, Montreal, the Frans Masereel Centrum, Kasterlee and the Volpert Foundation, New York.
