Lives and works in London, UK

“It was the great English poet William Blake who declared that ‘Without Contraries there is no progression’; and it is hard to imagine a better account of the painting of Peter Griffin. This is a painter whose canvases are often divided; a determinedly contemporary artist intrigued by the past whose recent works are stamped by the tension between inside and outside an artist preoccupied by revelation and concealment… Their meaning is to be read from a complex and unending dialogue between the elements that has no closure. The present cannot unwrap the past but nor can it stop trying to do so… Without contraries there is no progression, as Blake so rightly said”

Philip Dodd
