Ryszard Grzyb (born Sosnowiec, July 17, 1956) studied at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, in the studio of Prof. Zbigniew Karpinski (1976-1979) and at the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (1979-1981). He obtained his diploma in the atelier of Prof. Rajmund Ziemski In 1982- 1992 he was a member of Gruppa, with which he exhibited and participated in its actions. He was also a co-founder and publisher of Gruppa's magazine, "Oj dobrze już".
Since the mid-1980s, he has made several artistic trips: in May and June 1986, together with Ryszard Wozniak, he was on a scholarship in West Berlin, in 1990-1991 in Cologne at the invitation of Rafal Jablonka, in 1995 again in Germany on a scholarship in Lamspringe, and in 1996 in Saignon at the invitation of Kamila Regent and Pierre Jaccaud.
His paintings are in the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw, Wroclaw, Cracow, Poznan, Zachęta Gallery, In District Museums in Katowice, Bytom, Torun, Bydgoszcz, Olsztyn, in private collections in Poland and abroad.
Parallel to painting, he is active in poetry, having made his debut while still a student in Wroclaw. He published his writings in "Nowy Wyraz" (1980, 1981), "Miesięcznik Literacki" (1981), in the magazine "Oj dobrze już˝", in the publication Sztuka Najnowsza. What You Can Hear, edited by M. Sitkowska (Warsaw 1989), and Young Poets of a New Poland, (London 1993), and in the art journal Working Title (2004). His "Napowietrzne Sentences" was published by Literary World (2005).
In 2004, he began a multimedia project, Sentences Overhead, in which he collects short poetic sentences, "absurd haiku," as he says, and places them in a context completely foreign to poetic experiments - on billboards, postcards, pencils, mugs, turning them into neon signs, signage. By appropriating the space intended for other kinds of messages, the artist strengthens the power of their message, creating a kind of suspense.
Winner of the Jan Cybis Award for 2010.
