His works were shown in exhibitions in Venlo, Maastricht, Oostende, Geneva, Montecatini, Krakow and Moscow. He also participated in the design of the Düsseldorf carnival. In addition, Grulich was a member of the artists' association Malkasten, the Rhenish Secession (1947-1957) and district chairman of the West German Artists' Association (1957-1971).
Peter Royen is a Dutch and German painter, graphic artist and sculptor, member of the Malkasten Association of Artists.
Peter Royen is widely known for his white silent paintings, for which he has been called the "artist of silence". Royen endlessly experimented with his beloved white, layering and layering it in different variations, combining it with other colors. Right angles, squares, rectangles, stripes feel comfortable in white, sometimes they are lost in it or even dissolve.
