We are England.





Mitch Griffiths uses a traditional, almost forgotten style of painting, inspired by the light and composition of Old Master paintings, but he uses this style to depict the issues concerning 21st-century British society. His main subject is the transient and throwaway nature of contemporary culture, which is held in stark contrast to the permanence and indelibility of oil paint on canvas.
His large size canvases contain a narrative and energy that express his anxieties about modern life in a symbolic and illustrative way. Astonishingly self-taught, Mitch’s portraits are extremely captivating and contemporary.
