The fluidity of these metal sculptures is what is so immediately appealing about them: deconstructed and elegant, a perfectly balanced cascade arrests the eye. Inspired by bold architectural lines, made of steel and sometimes with wood, some works such as ‘Montabello’ and ‘Brentwood’ are designed to withstand the elements and look well situated in a garden, ambiguously organic. Either placed on a wall or freestanding, each sculpture demonstrates a unique variation on dynamic forms; it’s impressive how they achieve equilibrium apparently in a state of suspension.. Pieces of the sculptures only graze each other, to the effect that the segments seem to be lightly balancing on each other rather than welded together. There is something fortuitous about Gareth Griffiths’s works, which alongside their pop colours makes them endure in their compelling first impression.
