Cary Griffiths carries the excitement and creative invention of the early Abstract Expressionists into the contemporary world of art. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, his fantastic works of art display a keen sense for conveying a mood or idea through verdant colors and expressive lines and shapes. Beautiful, flowing amorphous forms rise and fall on the canvas providing the viewer with a sense of boundless primordial energy. Other paintings remain highly gestural, employing unusual angles and a stylized repertoire of color and line that can gently soothe or convey fearsome overtones.

Music plays a special role in Griffiths' creative process. “When I paint I almost always feel a beat , a rhythm in what I am painting,” he explains. “As I paint I feel lifted and lyrical.” His work has been exhibited across the United States and abroad, in locations such as Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, London, Portugal and New York. Griffiths lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah.
