Mossy Area Rugby Anne Griffiths

Sister by Studio Ashby are proud to present our Artist in Residence, Anne Griffiths, in collaboration with The Finch Project.

Anne's paintings seamlessly shift from landscapes to abstractions; from impressionism to modernism. What emerges is a distinct style of her own, one which articulates the landscapes of Canada through a contemporary lens. Griffiths draws with her paint strokes. The marks are visible, connecting the viewer to the process. The oil paint becomes lifelike in its visibility - visceral. The paintings with vertical lines feel like a curtain of rain or forest tapestry. While the combination of vertical and horizontal strokes differentiate the horizon line, making the viewer feel like they're walking through a forest. The work is done intuitively based on the natural environment where Griffiths lives and works in Victoria, British Columbia.
