American abstract expressionist Kay Griffith delivers a visual display that entices the eyes. The thick texture within each of her oil paintings adds toward unique concepts behind her work, each large scale painting stimulates the mind and provides an interplay of emotions. Inviting her audience inside a vortex of color play. Griffith has a keen eye that captures the delicate and subtle transitions in movement, her discipline, and mindful awareness of her surroundings works as a vital tool in creating improvisational abstracts that set the tone for existential questions.
One Kay Griffith’s art features is her thick impasto layers that structure shapes with lines and geometrical forms. At the same time, she employs a free abstraction that values fluidity and movement. Showcasing her skill in utilizing different techniques to create her artworks and convey her themes that are closely related to the emotional and cognitive status of the painter. Her work focuses on the sheer strength of color; one can see some elements that can act as references to actual landscapes or objects, thus employing some subtle figurative themes within her artworks. These features are fragmented and distorted to the point that they are hardly recognizable, becoming instead a choice that aims to unravel her personal view and reality. It is essentially a choice that can intrigue her audience and invite them into a journey of exploring the rich color patterns to unearth hidden messages and forms.
Kay Griffith combines all these elements and creates her unique artistic expression that has roots in the rich cultural heritage of the 20th-century abstraction while at the same time investing her personal touch and having a unique and diverse result.
