Sculptor Gints Grinbergs welds metal into natural forms and creates entire environments with them. "The Fat of the Land" transforms the de Menil Gallery into a world of metal flowers and found-object creatures, a geometric and contemporary homage to nature.

Grinbergs' sculptures—many of them large-scale, outdoor works—have been on display in various museums and galleries, including the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The artist earned a BFA and a BA in architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design and also studied at Massachusetts College of Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
