MICHELE GRIFFITHS
Michèle Griffiths was born and trained in London. Initially persuaded to pursue an academic career, studying French and German Literature at Cambridge University, her determination to make Art her life won out and she subsequently studied Fine Art at Wimbledon School of Art. With eminent tutors like Prunella Clough she learned to develop her own unique voice as an abstract artist.
Her textured, incised works on plaster are subtle and multilayered.
“I aim to engage the viewer in slow looking”. She says.
Michèle Griffiths has gained considerable recognition during her career. She completed a major commission for P&O (Britannia) and several works have been selected for Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions and The Discerning Eye in central London.
The art critic Nicholas Usherwood describes her paintings as “meditations on surface and depth, illusion and reality, their painterly touch and mark synonymous with their mood of contemplative stillness”.
