Contemporary artist Carne Griffiths creates prints of stunning beauty, from his abstract-meets-figurative vision. With an impressive roll-call of clients
- from Chanel to the Sultan of Oman
- Griffiths’ work is informed by his background as a gold wire embroidery designer: delicate lines of fluidity course through his work, which he creates from various (and sometimes surprising) materials, including ink, graphite, brandy & whiskey. ‘ Reverie’ uses an array of dynamic lines, shapes & colours to create the face of a woman in half-profile. Crafted from an explosive palette of aquamarine & earthy brown, Griffiths has weaved the delicate visage from soft swathes of intricately illustrated foliage, each line brimming with a life of its own. Sketchy lines meet drips, splashes, & daubs, to produce this striking example of the abstract shading into the figurative: a truly beautiful piece of contemporary art.
