David Griggs: Horror Business

‘Horror Business’ is an exhibition of new works by Philippines-based artist David Griggs about his turbulent struggle with depression – an international epidemic.

Battling this disease on and off for the last ten years Griggs has kept a journal recording his irrational thoughts, attempting to exile them and used the notes he has written to create new work. Although morbid and dark, these paintings have been therapeutic for Griggs, “I had come to a place where I felt ready and strong enough to use my own nature as the content in my work. I decided that I should paint in black; grey and white to best capture my own ‘horror’.”
