“A MOMENT IN TIME” With 'Top 15 Contemporary Master Artist' Kay Griffith

Griffith, named a “Top 60 Masters of Contemporary Arts" by Art Tour International Magazine, will appear at the gallery for the opening reception on April 25th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. “Kay Griffith is looking forward to launching her tour in Greenwich and we’re delighted to showcase her work,” said Tiffany Benincasa, C. Parker Gallery owner. “This exhibition opening coincides with the annual American Red Cross Ball where we have donated a specially commissioned painting by Griffith, encrusted with diamond dust and entitled “Radiant Hope”. This painting is currently on display at Greenwich jewelers Shreve, Crump & Low.” In addition to this donation, a portion of proceeds from the “A Moment in Time” opening night will also be donated to the American Red Cross.

After C. Parker Gallery, Griffith and her artwork will head to the London Biennale. Then she will continue on the World Vision Tour 2019-2020 where she will be one of sixteen prestigious artists presented at exhibitions in Monte-Carlo, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Tokyo, Florence, Miami, Venice and Santa Marta. Her works will also be on view at the Biennial Basel exhibition during Art Basel Switzerland June 14th-June 16th.

Painting wet-on-wet, ’alla prima’, empowers Griffith to follow the elemental flow allowing colors to synchronize and create a rich harmony of textures and values. This focus and execution style allows her to paint until her creativity and inspiration are reflected fully on the canvas. Griffith’s canvases are created with custom oil paints that derive their rich opulence from ground minerals and precious stones to achieve the vibrant and unique colors in her paintings.Griffith’s skillful play with texture, color, light and rhythm create a magical symphony that invites viewers to experience a visceral, emotional response to her work. It is a painting style that she has created over the years with experimentation, combining studies on color and design with the fresh approach of an artist who has matured through years of constant work.

Kay states, “All of us are aware that art in all its forms serves as universal language for humanity.  Additional to connecting us, paintings can highlight the uniqueness of every person.  My abstracts stir emotions and often engender conversation that spotlight individual differences in imagination, thought, and analysis. I respect every individual’s unique identity and encourage them to experience my abstracts, to think for themselves, feel what they feel, and set their imagination free!”
