David Griggs
Born in Sydney with studios in Sydney and Manila. Famous for his bold, anarchistic approach, David Griggs’s unique blend of portraiture, political imagery and vernacular motifs explore the darker side of the human condition. Griggs has exhibited extensively throughout Australia, South East Asia and Europe.
The catalyst thought for this work was acknowledging that all living creatures are currently breathing in an unnatural environment to that that has been. Due to human design and greed.
