- Kay Griffith

- By Satine Razio

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.

“The Healer" exhibits a prime example of Griffith's style, raw and refined bursting with color, and balanced with muted tones. The delicate layering of paint forms depth, and shape—a luminous direction of light works as a complement­ary factor in the painting. One of her most characteri­stic features is her use of thick impasto layers that structure shapes with lines while simultaneo­usly employing a free abstractio­n that values fluidity and movement above all. "Her paintings address the common threads that bind all humans while celebratin­g every individual's unique nature. Griffith abstracts are enigmatic, and interpreta­tion is elusive.”

She combines all these elements and creates her unique artistic expression investing her personal touch and having a vibrant, diverse result.
