Join us Friday, Dec. 5, 6-8pm for the continuation of Tending the Flame in conjunction with ArtWalk FLG.

During the long nights of winter, cultures around the world have long gathered around the warm light of fire and imbued it with ritual meaning. Tending the Flame is one man’s attempt to keep the spark of creativity burning during a metaphorical time of darkness. Artist Bryan David Griffith uses fire as a medium to plumb the relationship between nature and humanity. The resulting works juxtapose geometric forms with organic energy to convey themes of attempted control, disruption, loss, and ultimately—healing.

Last week to see my work in L.A. at Bermudez Projects!
"Of Flames and Shadows Gone Astray", four-person show with Francesca Bifulco, Malado Francine, and Cody Norris.

"In what is perhaps his most personal art exhibition, gallerist Julian Bermudez departs from conventional curatorship, and instead brings together deeply-resonant artworks — each incorporating fire as a material — in this cathartic confessional of love, loss, and perseverance."

Liminal Series, petroleum smoke on paper, 10x10" each, framed to 16x20".
