Description

Fluid energy defines this composition. The canvas vibrates with a tension between earth and atmosphere. Warm sienna tones clash with deep cerulean depths. Broad brushstrokes create a rhythmic movement across the surface. There is a sense of psychological flux here. The artist balances contradictions through bold applications of oil paint. Shifting forms suggest a landscape in transition. It evokes a feeling of separation and longing. The organic shapes swirl and recede. A dark vertical axis anchors the chaotic surrounding environment. Light filters through pale ochre streaks. The tactile quality of the medium adds a visceral dimension to the scene. This artwork explores the fragility of equilibrium. It captures a moment of suspended animation. The interaction of contrasting hues suggests a struggle between isolation and connection. Muted browns merge with electric blues. The final result is a meditative study on emotional distance. The composition concludes with subtle textures in the lower foreground.

Anne Griffiths, Blowing Twenty Five Knots
Canada  • 1969

Presentation

Anna Griffiths is a visual artist born in London, England, based in Ottawa, Canada. An early dance career lead to late university studies, a Master's degree in English literature, two years teaching in Japan and a career in communications. Growing from childhood was also continuous art-making that eventually became a consistent self-directed practice and the focused outlet for her creativity. During the two years she spent in Japan, she was really drawn to the mind-bending wonderland of its cultural paradoxes, particularly between hyper-reverant traditionalism and berserk pop art eclecticism, which continue to influence her aesthetic. Her work can be found in private collections in Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, Japan, and England.

ARTIST STATEMENT: "The worlds I create reflect the constant flux of meaning and psychological balance as our sorrows and joys, and confusions and convictions jockey for dominance. I use candy colours and playful imagery to depict darkness as well as light, and challenge the dream of sustaining uninterrupted states of happiness and understanding. I also like to question gender stereotypes, beauty myths, and assumptions about advancement and decline, power and vulnerability through various stages of life.

My process mainly involves digital collage and manipulation of freehand drawings, paintings, photographs and found images. For shows and sales, I print final pieces on aluminum or watercolour paper in limited series."
