About the Item

Melora Griffis’ “conch 1” is a painterly 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas work depicting a conch shell on a deep blue background, in warm sandy neutrals and pinks. Part of the artist’s ongoing series of oil painting studies of conch bodies, this work balances the opposition of hard, heavy protective shell with delicate, fragile edges, and tender pinks at the shell’s opening, winding out of sight toward a hidden center. Griffis states, “authentic expression is the consistent through line in my work,” and her conch paintings take on a metaphorical quality, of memory, desire and perhaps even the mystical. While her painterly gesture is rooted in the tradition of the German Expressionists and Francis Bacon, her voice is entirely her own. In his ARTnews review of Griffis' solo exhibition at 571 Projects NYC, critic Doug McClemont wrote, "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 BFA from The Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts (Montpelier, VT). 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 Re Institute (Millerton, NY) and 571 Projects (New York, NY). Her work has been included in group shows at Edward Thorp Gallery (New York, NY), White Columns (New York, NY), Bowman/Bloom Gallery (New York, NY), Michael Steinberg (New York, NY), Silas Marder (Bridgehampton, NY), Ille Arts, (Amagansett, NY), Sara Nightingale Gallery, (Sag Harbor, NY) and Boltax Gallery (Shelter Island, NY) among others. Griffis has received fellowships from Le Moulin à Nef (Auvillar, France), Oberpfälzer Künstlerhaus (Schwandorf, Germany), 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). Melora Griffis lives and works in New York City.
