Biography
editKristopher Grunert was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. He credits his prairie upbringing for developing his visual and spatial sense.[2] Perhaps his childhood environment is what propelled him toward scenes that honor human fortitude and expansion.[3] Known for his appreciation for architectural structures and industrial processes, Grunert's style marries the phenomena of Earth's cycles with man-made creations.[4]
In a personal development project called The Inspirers, Grunert pays homage to an expanding number of notable visionaries who have helped shape his vision. Among them are, architect I. M. Pei, director Andrei Tarkovsky, futurist Buckminster Fuller, aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, and photographer Sebastião Salgado.[5]
Work
editHis commercial work is mainly focused on developing corporate media libraries, annual reports, documentation of architectural projects, and corporate publications, including Canadian Pacific Limited.[6] Additionally, his commercial work extends to consumer publications, such as Wallpaper,[7] Dezeen,[8] and Applied Arts Magazine.[9] As an NFT photographer, he is among the top selling artists on Ephimera.[10]
