    Flight or Flight of Fancy

    FLIGHT OR FIGHT OF FANCY: CLINT & SCOTT GRIFFIN

    Toronto artists Clint Griffin and Scott Griffin return to the Northwest with a show of new work. The show will feature Clint Griffin's mysterious relief maps etched out of scrap wood. Brother Scott Griffin's arc weld "drawings" on found industrial metal are at once haunting and beautiful. Also on show will be collaborative pieces created especially for "Flight or Fight of Fancy".

    OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST: Thursday May 5, 2005 - 6pm-8pm
    OPEN DAILY: Wednesday thru Friday, 11am-530pm; Saturdays 11am-5pm
    CLOSING: Saturday June 25, 2005
    WHERE: Garde Rail Gallery - 110 Third Avenue South - Tel.206.621.1055

    Clint Griffin was raised on a farm outside Toronto. Along with his brother Scott, the boys created fantasy worlds in which to lose themselves. Clint binds dozens of photographs together with screws, and then paints on the top surface. Curiosity and intrigue fill the layers and make the viewer want to dismantle the piece to see what lies in the other photographs. He also paints on wood, books, and canvas, creating sparse scenes that evoke a sense of waiting, a calm still amid a whirlwind, urbane existence. Clint's "maps" are beautiful - heavily painted scraps of wood are scraped until map-like forms are revealed.

    Scott Griffin creates dream-like scenes on scrap pieces of metal using his arc welder. Planes, people, trees and houses all seem to float over rugged pieces of industrial detritus. Moon rockets and spacemen also dance on iron, steel, and aluminum. Characters and scenes feel familiar like recurring dreams, frozen in the sinewy medium, unable to escape.
