Patrick GRIES is a visual artist and photographer known for his striking black-and-white imagery that blends science, art, and design. His work often explores themes of anatomy, evolution, and the natural world, creating powerful visual narratives that challenge traditional perceptions.
In Elysian Fields, Patrick GRIES photographs the sky from his airplane seat, capturing the fragile threshold between the Earth and the cosmos. As part of the biosphere, the sky once held a sacred place in human imagination—a realm inhabited by spiritual forces and woven into ritual life. Today, it has been desacralized by science and scarred by pollution. Through shifting clouds, subtle light, and shadow, GRIES explores its mystery and vulnerability, inviting us to look upward with renewed attention.
