Simone Griffin, Gardenbed, 2024 (detail) acrylic on linen, 180 x 140 cm

Sky Garden is Simone Griffin’s second solo exhibition with Nasha Gallery, and explores the broadening of her painterly output which sits between Western abstraction and dot painting.

As writer and curator Reilly Davidson notes, “These paintings are perspectivally challenging, constituting both aerial views of mystical topographies and microcosmic cross-sections of specific locales. In an essay for the Whitechapel retrospective of Prunella Clough’s work, Michael Middleton writes that the artist ‘is fascinated by the conjunction of sky and land,’ a sensibility that Griffin absorbs and expresses as well. The two artists share this investment in the natural world as well as a textural and sublime formal sensitivity.”
