PAUL GRIGGS - JANUARY 5th - 30th 2010 MAIN GALLERY
I never try to represent my subject in a totally realistic manner, as I believe that a painting is something for the viewer to lose themselves in.
I will have a certain feeling and mood in my mind when I start painting, and the viewer will no doubt have a different take on the feelings it gives them.
That is absolutely the result I want, because if my work allows you to wander out of the stressful reality of real life for just a moment each time you looked at it, then I will have truly achieved what I set out to do.
