"I am only the head of those that go before me" Petter Griffin

About

Maddox Arts is delighted to announce the opening of Peter Griffin’s “I am only the head of those that go before me”, marking his third solo show with the gallery and following a recent twenty-year retrospective held at the Mark Rothko Centre in Latvia. Presented here is a selection of newer work from that retrospective along with a series of very recent paintings that reflect a change of mood in the artist’s outlook as his paintings explore a more minimal approach while still using a fusion of figurative and abstract imagery. With this development, the artist has arrived at a uniquely subtle style, one that is informed by improvisational music and poetry but always in relation to the internal space of memory and association and the external space of human experience a style that speaks beyond the formal structures of painting directly to the heart.
