Somewhere Else

Unusually a second post in the same day but I have been catching up with some work in the studio and am about to send this piece over to the Ben Oakley Gallery in Greenwich – hopefully tomorrow. It is titled ‘Somewhere Else’ and is another piece that has derived from the violence of flowers series but as it is more contemplative – I don’t think it belongs with the others. Today in the studio has been great – if I stay inside the sun shines – if I go outside for 5 minutes it

Undergrowth

Undergrowth is an installation drawing made in ink and tea during the Leytonstone Arts Trail in 2011. The drawing consists of floral forms influenced by the plants surrounding the house which stretch along one side of the wall in the house. From the front door along the hallway, up the stairs and reaching up to the ceiling, the floral forms are a mixture of real and imaginary flowers. Amongst the flowers are a number of bees drawn which flow in an arc until they reach the hiv

The Violence of Flowers

Yesterday I took 5 new pieces down to Inkd gallery and talked about some of the new work. It was good to air the new pieces as there was a slight change in direction and the work was starting to focus solely on floral forms. I have recently received good feedback from some purely floral works, poppy and undergrowth especially, and I think it is this that has given me the impotus to move into this project without any portrtraiture or human elements both with more confidence

Nature’s Healer

New piece of work breaking down anatomical shapes into more abstract areas, not wishing to move away from the figurative but trying to incorporate successfully automatic and subconscious mark making alongside figurative drawing – starting to take shape I think.. #art #londonartist #LondonArtFair #MarkMaking #drawingssketches #londonart #Drawing #drip #drawings #leytonstone #teaandink #nature #Eyestorm #spill #Cupoftea #artwork #AutomaticDrawing

New work from the Studio

After a short break in Thassos, Greece it has been nice to return to drawing in the studio and preparing for several group shows this summer. shown below are 2 pieces inspired by the recent break – firstly by a book I read whilst away and secondly by the variety of different forms of nature experienced. #ComabyCarneGriffiths #art #exhibitionlondon #carnegriffiths #londonartist #undergrowth #UndergrowthbyCarneGriffiths #inkandtea #londonart #alexgarland #floral #exhibition #fl

New work from Studio 18

Bit of a gap in blog posts while I settled into the new space but it has been a good move for me. I’ve posted some of the recent work below and am currently working on a couple of new pieces in there. The studio is shared with 2 other artists Michelle Sweetman and Neil Benjamin, and it’s great to be back in a busy creative environment. I havea few shows coming up in the next week or so. An impromptu open hang in the Rag Factory, in the the apricot studio on the 14th April

The new studio will give a chance to work on some larger ink drawings that I have been thinking about recently. 8 New pieces of paper stretched up and drying so looking forward to a week of submerging m

Would be interesting to know how they intend to run a digital display at the show and how the work will translate to that format. Anybody going to the Art Paris exhibition? #art #carnegriffiths #ArtParis #Saatchi #londonart #illustration #Vote #Eyestorm #OpusArt #SaatchiOnline

Roots, ink and rooibos tea on watercolour paper

Just finished this piece and pleased with the way the colour works with this type of tea. Also working the roots was a very fluid process, would enjoy making an abstract piece made up entirely of this type of form. #art #inkandwatercolour #inkillustration #carnegriffiths #londonartist #roots #londonart #Sketches #artforsale #illustration #watercolour #ink #paper #PenampInk #sketch #Eyestorm #Carne #artwork #inkonpaper #inkd

Flower of Life – Lightbox

Back from the Signal Gallery’s private view showing Dan Baldwin’s work – Stunning new canvas piece ‘Cyclone’. Thought I’d publish the image of the first large scale backlit drawing ‘Flower of Life’.

Closer

Finished work on the 1 metre square piece Closer, was a challenge working both in a quadrant format and also at that scale in pen ink and of course tea. Closer illustrates our connection to nature as a two way relationship, our dependency and our appreciation This slideshow requires JavaScript. #art #WorkforSale #carnegriffiths #closer #Sketches #Drawing #ink #drawings #leytonstone #PenampInk #inkdgallery #Eyestorm #paintings #artwork #AutomaticDrawings #inkd

A visit to Harwood King to see Quentin & Nyle on Friday to have a look at the prints of “The Harvest & Rose – & they are looking Gorgeous, really do the originals justice and more than that using varnish they capture part of the creation process of the pieces, – a few tweaks here and there and selecting a printing paper for the finished 2 editions and we’ll be there, look out for them they’ll be around very soon. Then after Harwood King I visited Ink_d gallery in Brighton to
