Kio Griffith
Kio Griffith Born in Kamakura, Japan, Kio Griffith lives and works in Los Angeles. Arranging moments that occur through everyday life, Griffith creates a map of thought, a nebulous idea of what the day may have been made of. The resulting rhythmic drawings, rendered in white out, ink, pencil, and tea pigments, reflect attention to both traditional folk art and the art of the insane. With a fascination of music and musicians, Griffith drifts toward improvisational illusions, which emanate less from imagery than the exploratory range of markings that bring it into being.
