Ink, tea, alcohol and embroidery for these slightly special paintings

Griffiths

Like the one who he accidentally throws a glass of brandy and suddenly he discovers that the shape left by the alcohol mark serves as inspiration to draw an eye here, a hair on this side and the shape of a face on this other, an illustration is formed in days to meet a noteworthy work.

It is more or less the story of Carne Griffiths that accidentally threw some brush strokes into a brandy glass and continued experimenting with materials that we are not so used to being used when making illustrations or paintings. For this same reason we bring you to this page to find those portraits that have something special and striking.

Griffiths uses a brief palette of colors with which he begins to experiment with a series of pigments in which it also includes slightly fluorescent tones, with which it mixes with that textile technique that we know by embroidery.

Chaos is another of the patterns you have in your illustrations and that can be evidenced in each one of them to remind us at certain moments of something floral as if it were the perfect environment to meet a great artist such as Janis Joplin and that special Woodstock that originated the hippie movement around the world.

It focuses on those well drawn eyes and a face that is tarnished by that vodka and tea that he uses as shadows in some of his illustrations. A work that looks for natural forms to get intoxicated with floral patterns that end in all kinds of shapes. A somewhat mystical work that also uses embroidery since the artist has been working on this type of craft for 12 years.
