David Bowie inspired expressionistic layered and textured painting. Celebrating David Bowie. On January 10th Bridget will be painting live at the C.D.B event in NYC at Terminal 5. Bridget Griggs is a contemporary artist from Toronto who in 2016 began producing a “Tribal Love” series of paintings inspired by David Bowie. In her words, “It is an on going collaborative, explorative and intuitive series of expressionism. Created while I watch, listen and learn from the massive library of video interviews, articles, photos, songs, art and legacy that David let loose in his incredible time here on this wild spinning planet.” In September Bridget drove from Toronto to New York, and in respectful coordination with the community and neighbors at Pravda, created a mural honoring David’s life and art. The work stood watch above the public memorial space beside David’s family home on Lafayette Street from September-November. It was well received as a civic homage, and nowhere was this more graciously supported than with Iman’s choice to feature the piece on Instagram. ?taken-by=the_real_iman. She is having a solo exhibit of this series on January 11th a few short blocks from where David lived.

Bridget is fueled by curiosity. Her work is expressive and driven by exploration, spontaneity, and intuition. In her early career, Bridget’s multifaceted artistic abilities manifested themselves through performance art and acting, allowing her to explore emotional depths and exposing her to the global community, culture, and art. Today, Bridget’s canvases express the wealth of her collective experiences, the timelessness of her inquisitive nature, thirst for the undefined, and acceptance of the ever-changing. Exploration of emotion and the constantly-shifting universal fiber are fundamental values of her expression. I paint intuitively following the flow of the moment. Sometimes in complete silence, other times with music guiding, most often working on several canvases at a time. At times I feel much like I imagine a conductor feels in front of an orchestra, the canvases are filled with different sounds, the paint and materials playout as either a section or the entire orchestra. To me, Life is art, full of contrast, and nothing in this universe is static. My approach is an expressionistic map of my experiences, curiosity, and explorations...most often in an abstracted metaphorical form. I feel art is infinite. I am at my best when I can go with the flow by listening to my intuition, evolving and discovering the many languages that give visual voice to moments in my life. ”- Bridget Griggs The innate, explorative truth expressed by the visual dialogue of her painted works has attracted a vast private collector, and corporate clientele following and is sought out by the international creative and design communities. Recognized for her artistic virtuosity, Bridget’s works can be seen in numerous public spaces across Canada and the US, such as in the lobby of The Fairmont Hotel in Calgary, A large David Bowie-inspired mural beside his families home on Lafayette St. NYC, Odgers Berndtson at the Royal Bank Plaza, Toronto, Totum Fitness Life Science to name a few. Bridget stays constantly creatively engaged whether traveling across the globe in search for the new frontiers of exploration, or in her native Canada where she paints in her treasured studio space located in the Roncesvalles Village – one of the few remaining artist warehouse spaces in Toronto Her paintings are regularly featured and sold through Saatchi Art, fulfilling her goal to connect with a global audience.
