Artwork location: United States
I am interested in emergent patterns that arise unexpectedly as a result of many small units or actions acting independently. I dipped a typeface letter "o" in acrylic paint and stamped it hundreds of times on the panel. I then painted over the stamps with a wash of paint, and repeated the process over several iterations. My intent is to create simple but elusive paintings that beckon a hectic world to slow down, pause, and reflect.
The edges of the canvas are painted, so no frame is necessary.
Ships ready to hang to continental US and Canada. For other locations, the canvas will be removed from stretchers and shipped rolled to save hundreds of dollars on oversize shipping, unless you request otherwise and pay the additional shipping costs. Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: back

Artist Statement:
Experimentation, curiosity, and a search for profound simplicity define my practice. My paintings, photographs, sculptures, and installations are exhibited nationally and held in permanent museum collections. Throughout my career I have created multiple bodies of work. My Fermata-series paintings shown here are quiet sanctuaries for personal reflection. Painting is my antidote to troubling times, my way of contemplating the nuanced gray areas neglected by our increasingly polarized society. I create fields of light and darkness by staining raw canvas with layer upon layer of diluted acrylic pigments that soak into the fabric. These subtle layers of pigment reveal themselves gradually after several minutes of viewing, bringing the dimension of time to the two-dimensional surface. I also blur the distinction between object and ground to create an ambiguity of space. My intent is to create simple but elusive paintings that beckon a hectic world to slow down, pause, and reflect.
BIOGRAPHY
BD Griffith's work spans painting, photography, sculpture, and installation, often using simple forms and techniques in unexpected ways. His work is held in public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Center for Creative Photography, and Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Griffith's exhibitions include recent or upcoming solo shows at the Fresno Art Museum, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Griffin Museum of Photography, and Coconino Center for the Arts, along with small-group shows at the Phoenix Art Museum and University of Arizona Museum of Art. He has been featured in Slate, Black & White, Arizona Highways, Diffusion, AZ Lifestyle, Phoenix New Times, and the Arizona Daily Sun.
Before becoming an artist, Griffith earned a degree in engineering and built a successful career with an international management consulting firm, but found his job unfulfilling and was troubled by the environmental impact of his clients. He ultimately resigned to follow his conscience. In order to pursue art full-time, he adopted a simple nomadic life, camping out of an old van and saving every dime for gas and supplies. When Griffith's van broke down in Flagstaff, Arizona, he fell in love with the mountain town—and then his wife—and has called it home ever since. In 2016, Griffith received the Flagstaff Arts Council's Viola Award, the city's highest honor for arts achievement, and was recognized by the Phoenix Art Museum with a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant.
