September 21 - October 19, 2019
A solo exhibition featuring work by TJ Griffin.
“This show is composed of a series of paintings and drawings on paper. Each painting starts with a process of acrylic paint wash, dripping, splashing, and gestural brushing a base layer to build upon. Beginning the paintings in this fashion allows for chance to create the skeleton upon which I build my fantasy. Each of these works is a meditation in exploring my imagination; becoming an island of thought in the ocean of my mind. As I set with these abstract fields of color, I allow my awareness to create form and structure out of the paint and gestural brush strokes. Working into these forms with brush and paint-pen the images begin to appear. I really enjoy this process. I have built up a library of symbols in my head which are referenced in each work. The human form, creatures, and plants come together in this paradise of thought.”
