I am interested in everyday urban architecture and how the public interacts with it. Crumbling city sidewalks are constantly repaired with a quick patch of asphalt. Time, weather and foot traffic transform these patches into fascinating varied shapes and imagery. I have traced these patches and transfered them onto canvas. In my newest body of work Ottawa Sidewalks, I am using sidewalks as giant woodblock prints. By applying wet asphalt over the existing patch and then placing the canvas face down onto it, I am rewarded with a myriad of marks, blobs and lines. These graphic noises are the framework for the resulting paintings. Please join me on Saturday, October 23 & Sunday, October 24 noon – 5pm Christopher Griffin and the Catherine Street Art Collective The Media Arts Building 203 Catherine Street (between Bank and O’Connor St.) Studio #20 2010-10-19T11:59:41-05:00 http://christophergriffin.ca/news/index.php/site/tortuga/ http://christophergriffin.ca/news/index.php/site/tortuga/#When:14:24:41Z View Paintings May 1 - 19, 2010 opening reception 2 - 5pm Trias gallery Toronto 80 Spadina Avenue, Suite 403 Toronto http://www.triasgallery.com 2010-04-12T14:24:41-05:00 http://christophergriffin.ca/news/index.php/site/464_oconnor_exterior_renovation/ http://christophergriffin.ca/news/index.php/site/464_oconnor_exterior_renovation/#When:14:06:57Z Our exterior home renovation is complete and I am thrilled to announce that our project was awarded both ‘Green Renovation of the Year’ and ‘Best Housing Detail’ at the Ottawa Housing Design Awards 2009.
