Biography Born on: 1973, Liverpool Carne Griffiths works primarily with calligraphy inks, graphite and liquids, such as tea, brandy and vodka. Griffiths’ fascination with drawing focuses on the creation and manipulation of the drawn line. Carne’s images explore human, geometric and floral forms, in a combination of both literal and abstract translation and in response to images and situations encountered in daily life. He is fascinated by the flow of line and the ‘invisible lines’ that connect us to the natural world. These may be considered lines of energy or spiritual connections between ourselves and our surroundings and his work is often an emotional response to images and situations encountered in daily life. Images are recorded in a dreamlike sense onto the page where physical boundaries are unimportant. His work creates a journey of escapism which focuses on scenes of awe and wonder, projecting a sense of abandonment and inviting the viewer to share and explore this inner realm. |
"Combine all the things that you are passionate about – be honest, avoid fads and trends but be aware of what these are. Create for yourself first." - Carne Griffiths
He believes that humanity’s connection with nature is falling apart and will ultimately hurt us in the future. Therefore he spends a great deal of time hiking and cycling in the forest or countryside.Nature helps him reflect and (not unlike drawing) lose himself for hours. These experiences both consciously and subconsciously influence his art and in turn influence others. When he was asked on what his dreams and goals were, he said that he wants to draw more. He wants to push the boundaries of his art and create work that is even more inspiring.
