About this artwork
The forest is made from light and air, slowly transforming into tall trees. In this large painting, light plays a vital role. As I worked on it, I realized the main focus had become the light, beaming down through the forest canopy in a way that suggested a spiritual sense. The overall red theme speaks to the passionate feelings I have about nature and our place in it as humans. We aren't separate from it, but it flows through us in waves of energy.… My decision early on to make red the dominant color, gives the scene an unique look proclaiming that this is about more than a painting of a forest.
James Griffin is a well-known painter with a Bachelor of Fine Art from Pratt Institute, recognized for his five-decade career in illustration and his consistent focus on personal art. He masterfully blends realistic techniques with intuition, allowing subconscious dream imagery and symbolism to emerge through slow-drying acrylics—brushing, scraping, and squeegeeing the canvas in an organic process. His style is rooted in realism but remains open to discovery, often evoking the mystery of dreams. Griffin’s paintings convey a profound sense of wonder, spirituality, and the emotional resonance of simply being alive.
