Graem Whyte
Graem Whyte is an American sculptor and gallerist.[1][2] Whyte was born and raised in metropolitan Detroit and now lives in Hamtramck, Michigan.[3]
Art career
His career started in the field of architecture, later shifted to fine art, and now hybridizes both disciplines. His work utilizes a wide array of materials and often fuses architecture, mythology, and patterns of mathematics and nature with a wry sense of humor.[4]
In 2007 Whyte and his wife, Faina Lerman, founded the experimental art venue Popps Packing in Hamtramck.[5][6] A later part of the Popps Packing project is Popps Emporium, an experimental storefront, community gallery, and social club utilizing barter and time-based exchange.[7][8]
Whyte's Squash House project involved the conversion of an abandoned house in Detroit into a squash court and community squash garden.[9][10]
Whyte exhibited at the Cue Art foundation in 2014.[11] His public sculpture Memory Field, a collaboration with his wife Faina Lerman, is installed in Detroit’s Calimera Park.[12][13]
