Gareth Griffiths MRSS
Gareth is an internationally renowned sculptor whose work bridges the expressive energy of natural
forces with the structural elegance of architectural design. Known for creating striking forms that
celebrate movement, tension, and fluidity, his sculptures evoke a dialogue between the organic and
the engineered—often drawing inspiration from the sea, surfing culture, and the bold optimism of
mid-century modernism.
Raised in North Wales and now exhibiting globally, the artist's work is recognised for its refined
surfaces, flowing lines, and a distinct sense of rhythm and poise. Deeply influenced by the
architecture of John Lautner and the Googie design movement, as well as the raw physicality of
ocean waves, Gareths sculptures are both formally sophisticated and emotionally resonant.
Gareths sculptures have been exhibited at prestigious venues including Tate Liverpool and Beaux
Arts in London’s Mayfair, and continue to show work in prominent galleries and international art
fairs across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. HIs work is held in significant private
collections worldwide and in major public collections, including the UK Government Art
Collection, which acquired the sculpture Huntington—a flowing, sea-inspired work reflecting their
lifelong relationship with coastal environments.
Among numerous high-profile commissions, Gareths sculptures have been created for Max Mara
Fashion Group, Manchester United, Marriott Hotel, Georgia, The Londoner Casino in Macau, and
The Canary Wharf Group in London. These works reflect his ability to respond to both urban and
natural environments with sensitivity, scale, and a refined design language.
Recent projects include Venture, a sculptural installation exhibited in Los Angeles and inspired by
the expressive forms of Southern Californian architecture, and Costa, a wall-based sculpture
commissioned for a private collection in Miami, exploring the rhythm of surf and shoreline. The
artist also developed a concept for a landmark sculpture for the new top-tier stand at Wrexham AFC
—an homage to their hometown’s rising cultural and sporting identity.
Working across bronze, corten steel, Aluminum, and Steel, the artist balances digital design
processes with traditional sculptural craftsmanship. Gareths work stands at the intersection of art,
architecture, and environment—honouring the flow of nature while embracing the clarity of
engineered form.
As his reputation continues to grow, Gareth remains dedicated to exploring how sculpture can
inhabit space, capture movement, and connect people across cultures through form, material, and
memory.
