About the Item

Gareth Griffiths is an artist who lives and works in Leeds in the UK. His passion and his outstanding talent as a sculptor led him to exhibit and collaborate with important institutions such as the TATE Liverpool and the Liverpool Biennale. He joined the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 2015. Gareth is passionate about the Googie movement, a futuristic architectural style born in the 40s in Southern California, which is characterized by minimalistic constructions with bright colours and large and simple geometric structures, elements which can be found in the artists sculptures. The artist moulds and polishes the steel to give it a light and mouldable impression. His use of organic forms such as folds and curvatures reinforce their malleability and create dynamic pieces, full of movement. With vivid colours and abstract shapes, Gareth's sculptures float between sculpture and architecture. His inspiration, centred on North American minimalist architecture, led him to create pieces with simplified and organic forms. The artist usually uses steel as his main material. His passion for this style led him to conceive architecture as an art that goes beyond functionality. Construction materials become raw material to create works of art. Gareth seems to entirely appropriate this principle to conceive his pieces and focus on their visual and aesthetic potential. Gareth Griffiths: “My sculptures are influenced by West Coast architecture called “Googie”. The origin of Googie dates to 1949, when architect John Lautner designed the West Hollywood coffee shop Googies, which had distinct architectural characteristics. Features of this Mid-Century modern style include upswept roofs, curvaceous, geometric shapes, and bold use of glass, steel and neon. This piece is part of a new series I am currently making which is influenced by Brutalist architecture in London.” Painted steel sculptures. All of Gareth’s artworks are originals, signed by the artist and come with a signed certificate of authenticity. Delivery in perfect condition, directly from the artist’s studio.
