Roberta Griffith - Mixed Media Art Installations

The Yager Museum of Art and Culture Berry Warren Herzog Gallery presents “Street Stuff-BUMP” from April 4 - October 22, 2022. Six realistic porcelain street signs are installed on steel stands placed in the curve of the round gallery.


The installation is a visual response by the artist to road signs worldwide. The installation serves as a universal metaphor representing the curves, bumps and other impediments experienced in one’s travels through life. There is a QR Code on the gallery wall for the public to share their thoughts on obstacles they have faced and overcome.


Hanibal Salvaro, Director of Art, LADICA Fine Arts and Design Center in Zagreb, Croatia is organizing an international exhibition in Venice, titled KEFIR 22, in Galleria della comici, Lido, Venice, 12 March-26 March, 2022, preceding and welcoming the upcoming 59th Venice Biennale.


 
 
 

The painting is titled, “NO Series – NOTHNG”. It is 11” x 11”, painted on porcelain and fired to C/10 (2323°F oxidation). In addition, my 27" x 27" pastel self-portrait, "Winter in an Epoch of Isolation", is one by 47 artists accepted from the state of Hawai'i into the Schaffer Portrait Challenge at the Schaefer Gallery, Mau'i, HI, 11 January-19 March, 2022.

Mixed Media Art Installations by Roberta Griffith

"Unpleasant Conversations" is composed of two mixed media art installations. One is a linear wall installation of forty-six "NO" series plates, "NO", "NOT", "NOPE", and "NO-NO" that are repeated around the gallery on a yellow band, like a cautions tape, with a narrow red line in its center, and a red arrow at the entry. The other installation consists of 21 "NO Series" cups in disarray on a square black table in the center of the gallery.


Galerie 103 is proud to present two prominent Hawai`i artists/academics/mentors:
Roberta Griffith + Scott Groeniger, Kuikui'ula, October 10 - December 5, 2015

Three mixed-media ceramic installations, including “Homage to Suizenji” that consists of three reflecting pools, each with gunmetal black ceramic disks floating in groups in each pool. The first group has six black disks with one gold bullseye disk, the second group has six black disks with three gold bullseye disks and the third has 11 black disks with five gold bullseye disks.

"Introspection." A 3 ft. x 4 ft, self-portrait painted for the triennial statewide juried competition using Golden acrylic paints.


"State of the Art 2014," Galerie 103, 13 September-8 November 2014, the "No Series."

Schaefer Portait Challenge Schaefer Portait Challenge

This series is painted with underglaze on a 1 mm Keraflex porcelain sheet fired to C/10. These images are a continuation of ideas about death and destruction I have been working with three-dimensionally for several decades in my mixed-media installations. While painting, I have interpreted images abstractly that I've saved for several years about the havoc and the like. Each image is coupled with a simple word, or two, based on "NO" that seemed appropriate for the particular subject matter. The variegated green colors seen in the painting, "NEVER," was inspired by the old sugar mill in Lihu'e before it was torn down. In another, the skulls reflect persons killed during the 2011 tsunami in Japan during which more than 15 thousand persons died.


"PRINT paper + sandbox," Galerie 103, Kukui'ula, HI, February 22-May 3, 2014

Stuck in the Sand

The exhibit will examine traditional and contemporary printmaking and will include works that challenge conventional limits and technique, including Roberta Griffith's installation, "Stuck in the Sand." All objects except the sandbox, and the sand, are sculpted tromp l'oeil fired ceramics.


"Artists of Hawai'i 2013," "Debris Contained" 2012-13, Honolulu Museum of Art, 2013


Debris Contianed

The installation, "Debris Contained," was purchased by donors Sharon and Thurston Twigg-Smith for the Collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, September 2013.
