Biography

A. Georgi Frie (b. 1998) is an artist based in Forest Grove, OR, USA. They primarily work in the mediums of reductive linocut prints and assemblage sculpture, and explore themes such as grief, grounding, and perseverance. Their work often includes scenes of everyday beauty, and incorporates text or tactile interactive elements.

In 2023, Frie received their B.A. in Visual Arts from Vancouver Island University. During their time at university, they witnessed the effects of the global Covid-19 Pandemic, and, with their family, experienced the loss of their grandfather. In communicating those experiences through their art, they developed an affinity for creating large interactive assemblage sculptures and installations with text.

In Frie’s post-academic career, their art shifted to colorful, two-dimensional prints. They have been involved with the arts scene in Washington County, Oregon through various volunteer positions, including planning and coordinating Forest Grove’s Print Day in May celebration in 2025 with Valley Art Association.
