Abstract Artwork with Napoleon by Huw Griffith (14" x 17")

A surprisingly playful artwork, likely an interpretation of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, a younger brother of Napoleon I, a former ruler of Holland; with a silhouetted figure set between an “N” and “B”; wonderful colors and a simple vintage frame of radiating scored rectangles on straight grain wood.

About the Artist: Huw Griffith takes inspiration from found objects, such as old letters, ephemera and frames, picked up on his travels and from trawling antiques fairs. He is intensely instinctive by nature and shows scant regard for creative constraints and any artistic rulebook, preferring the peripheries of the art world and the traditional marketplace, he started off selling his work on the street and has worked his way up from there. The son of the late actor, Kenneth Griffith, his aesthetic has one foot in the historical past, and the other in Outsider Art.
