Strongly motivated by his internal passions and beliefs, painter Cary Griffiths is inspired not by ordinary subjects or sentiments. Instead, he paints his psyche - his inward inclinations - in melodic, vibrant colors and sumptuous, harmonious strokes. Through electrifying, rhythmic line, Griffiths poetically pierces through two-dimensional space, imbuing his canvases with a lyrical sense of music. Spirited in their graceful shapes and forms, these works identify with a core sense of courage and soul. “In its purest and most creative form, my art doesn’t come from my mind; it comes from the place in me that I dream,” he explains. “My total attention needs to be on the sensual flow of experience from the unconscious.” As a child, Griffiths could diligently draw and appreciate color — as an adult, he has been able to delve into these innate talents and predilections, bringing a fresh sophistication to inborn skill and honing his aesthetic talents into pensive, painterly abstractions.
Cary Griffiths’ work has been exhibited nationwide to critical acclaim.
