About the Item

Griffin Masha, 2014 162 x 100 cm archival pigment print on silk with attached quartz crystals and other semiprecious stones unique Griffin and his work are both current and classic. Embodying an abstract vibrant beauty with an intriguing synergy of the old and new. While distinctly concerned with formalism yet unmistakably experimental, his images are heavily influenced by history and memory, simultaneously feeling baroque and minimalist in tone. Over the past 20 years, Griffin has instinctively been several steps ahead of the curve, constantly making new and innovative choices in his life and work. Highly visually expressive and imaginative, he is one of the pioneering directors amongst the current renaissance within Contemporary Avant-garde film. Starting his professional directing career at the age of 23 in Japan, his work has been featured in exhibitions and festivals worldwide from the CANNES, ROME, ROTTERDAM and NEW YORK film festivals, with his ONEDREAMRUSH project, to ITALIAN VOGUE and DIANE PERNET’S 1 MINUTE LIGHT SERIES, SHOWSTUDIO’S FASHION REVOLUTION, and shown in countries such as Japan, Russia, China, Italy, England, Mexico and France. In a perpetual state of motion and on a quest for inner and outer knowledge, project after project he has collaborated with groundbreaking artists such as KENNETH ANGER, DAVID LYNCH, RODARTE, VINCENT GALLO, FLORIA SIGISMONDI, SEAN LENNON, YOKO ONO and clients such as Italian Vogue, SHOWstudio, Bacardi, American Rag CIE Japan, Sony Music and Universal Music, among others. Griffin’s work as a director, producer and curator transports him through the spectrum of visual and cultural media landscape
