JOHN GRIFFITHS - LANDSCAPE ARTIST
John originally hails from Northern Ireland, but has lived worked in Cornwall for the last 40 years and has been influenced by the rugged coastline and atmospheric valleys of the south-west. His interest in ceramics and landscapes led him eventually into watercolour painting and in the last decade to mixed media and oils. He is interested particularly in the essence of landscape and representing it in semi-abstract way.Recent work has focused on North Cornwall and has evolved into canvasses divided into panels with a strong focus on texture - a leftover from his ceramic days.
He also paints Ireland and lives for part of the year in the Languedoc in the South of France where the intense colour and light offer a whole new set of challenges.
