About the Item

Melora Griffis’ “imaginary cave” is a framed 16 x 20 inch acrylic, gouache, charcoal, graphite and pastel painting on paper (framed size 19 x 22.75 x 1.25 inches). Part of her dreamlike ‘cave’ series, inky black defines the mysteriousness of the space, accented with brushes of pink, framing the opening of the cave. Beyond we see a wall of dark green vegetation and a spot of white sky. The viewer is looking out from the cave into a forest clearing. Here, Griffis renders an inner, psychological landscape where the cave is a visual device. In his ARTnews review of Griffis' solo exhibition at 571 Projects NYC (2012), critic Doug McClemont says, "With their (...) dramatic use of color, Griffis' works conveyed the impression that memories and retellings can be strangely cloaked and yet, nevertheless, poignant." A native New Yorker, Griffis received her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts (Montpelier, VT) and her BFA from The Rhode Island School of Design. She has had solo exhibitions at the Pamela Williams Gallery (Amagansett, NY), Lizan Tops Gallery and AE Gallery (both East Hampton, NY), Whitney Art Works (Greenport, NY), The Boylan Gallery (Rhinebeck, NY), Blue Heron Arts Center (New York, NY) and 571 Projects (New York, NY). Her work has been included in group shows at The Waterfront Museum (Brooklyn, NY), White Columns (New York, NY), Bowman/Bloom Gallery (New York, NY), and Boltax Gallery (Shelter Island, NY) among others. Griffis has received fellowships from the Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts, (Ithaca, NY), Schloss Pluschow (Mecklenberg-Vorpommern, Germany), The Edward F. Albee Foundation (Montauk, NY) and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (Amherst, VA).
