Carne Griffiths

is a rare and remarkable artist. 


Uses Tea and Ink to Create Artistic Masterpieces


Griffiths uses the medium of tea and ink (sometimes graphite, vodka, whiskey, and others) to create these pieces. He lives on the fringe of normal and is constantly helping push the next generation of art forward. The pieces have drips and intentional imperfections that only add more character to the work. I find that each composition melts into the page and leaves me wanting more. Really, that’s what we want in art. We want to be hungry for whatever else is floating around in the artist’s imagination and he does just that.


Griffiths grew up in the UK outside Liverpool, emigrated to New Zealand for a few years during childhood, and returned with his family to the UK. Traveling was a big part of his childhood and something that likely influenced his creativity and overall perception of life.
