Vardan Gallery is pleased to present "Other Gatherings," a solo exhibition of intimate paintings and works on paper by Alex Griffin (b. 1978 in Philadelphia, PA). Griffin's creations transcend the boundaries of traditional art, inviting viewers into a world where urban landscapes merge with deeply personal narratives. His mastery of various mediums captures the vibrant pulse of contemporary life. Griffin uniquely romanticizes urban settings, rendering them in a dreamy , almost ethereal light. Through his dynamic and textured compositions, he explores the intricate relationship between the individual and their environment, offering a fresh perceptive on the complexities of modern existence. Join us in experiencing the transformative power of Alex Griffin's art, where every piece evokes a sense of nostalgia, capturing the essence of faded memories and the passage of time. 

“Before I start certain paintings I will have concrete scenes or loose narratives that I want to put on the canvas, but through the process of painting, these initial scenes always change as I paint over and scrape away the initial images. In the end the narrative is never something I understand. One of my favorite things about painting is hearing other people put together their own stories when looking at my work.” _ Alex Griffin
