Painter, born of a Cornish family. Although he travelled as far away as Provence and America, the sea, coast, weather and landscape of Cornwall continued as a preoccupation. Le Grice attended Guildford Art School, 1953–4, was at Lanyon Summer School, 1955–6, then in 1957–61 was at Slade School of Fine Art. For a decade Le Grice was then based at St Just, Cornwall; then after 11 years in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, 1972–83, he returned to St Buryan, Cornwall, 1984–96; Newlyn from 1997. As well as showing at RA and with LG, Le Grice had a series of one-man shows, the first at Newlyn Gallery, 1962. After a solo show at Cadogan Contemporary in 1989 he had another in 1991, in 1990 having a retrospective at Penwith, St Ives. Two German scholarships were held at Worpswede, Bremen, 1995–6, and Atelierhaus, Bremerhaven, 1998, both resulting in solo shows.
