Mitch GriffithsI sometimes think that in today's art world, alot of artists have forgotten the significance of realism. I really love an artist with complete control over his or her technique above all things. It makes the artist's message so much more breathtaking.
Mitch Griffith's work talks about consumerism and capitalism in today's world in a breathtaking and iconic way. His use of colour, particularly in the last picture reminds me of the work of the Baroque painters.
The use of religious symbolism amalgamated with the 'icons' of consumerism creates a breathtaking and poignant message. His work is filled with patriotic imagery...a young woman holding on to the grubby threads of the Union Jack, her last and only solace in a world driven mad by War.
I'm excited by Grffiths because I think that we're on the same page, artistically and ideologically, and it's been a while since that has happened.

I love this artist =) A few years ago I saw a painting of his in an exhibition of new artists in Barcelona museum and impressed me greatly ... truth is simply great
Incredible pictures...and though I am not at all familiar with the artist, the Chuck Palanhuik ideal fits perfectly. I just am so blown away by the pictures.
