David Griffith – Still life paintings

David completed art school in 1999 but then promptly got pulled into different pathways and professions. However, throughout the past two decades, art has always called to him, so after a change in life circumstances in mid-2022, he finally answered that call and embarked on serious and sustained studio-based practice.

Born 1977 Melbourne, he lives and works in Melbourne. David works in oils, watercolour and acrylics. Drawing is fundamental to his painted mark. He is interested in slow looking and exploring how we see, perceive and make sense of the world around us.

David has received multiple awards such as an Honourable Mention – Brunswick Street Gallery Fifty Squared Art Prize, Finalist in the National Emerging Art Prize, Online finalist (Salon des refuses) – Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award, all in 2023. David has been involved in many group exhibitions including ‘Where are we Now’, Gallery 5, Victoria in 1999 and the Graduate Exhibition, Monash University, Faculty of Art & Design, Victoria in 1998.
