Linda Griggs
"Pool Fence Letter of the Law" Contemporary Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

This compelling fine art painting presents a rural above-ground pool, enclosed by a makeshift chain-link fence, set against a sunlit landscape of rolling green grass and dense tree lines. Executed in contemporary realism, the composition juxtaposes the reflective blue pool water with the surrounding textures of metal fencing, plastic patio chairs, and a classic charcoal grill, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere of summertime leisure. The artist skillfully captures the interplay of light and shadow, as the warm golden hues of the background contrast with the cooler tones of the pool’s surface. Subtle details, such as the clipped clothespins and empty baskets, add an element of storytelling, suggesting the quiet remnants of past activity. With meticulous brushwork and strong perspective, this piece offers a thought-provoking balance between private and public space, security and openness. Ideal for collectors of American realism, landscape paintings, and modern figurative art, this artwork speaks to themes of nostalgia, rural leisure, and everyday life, making it a powerful addition to gallery exhibitions, private collections, and contemporary interior design. Linda Griggs' work has been included in numerous museum, gallery and university exhibitions. She has had solo shows at ADO, Christopher Stout and Carolyn J Roy Galleries in NYC and Hampden Gallery, UMass Amherst. Past group exhibitions include the Iwami Art Museum in Japan, the Leubsdorf Gallery at Hunter College, Gahlberg Gallery at the College of DuPage, the Wustum Museum, ABC No Rio, PS122, Satellite Art Fair, Albany International Airport Gallery, Bridgewater Fine Arts, Vox Populi/American Fine Arts, and the New York Public Library. Fellowships include the MacDowell and Millay Colonies and the LES Rotating Studio Program.
