Aaron Griffin

MA Fine Art

Aaron Griffin is an interdisciplinary UK artist whose practice incorporates performance, digital media, installation, graphic design and creative writing; His combination of methods is channelled through the conceptual lens of cinema. 

His work is defined by themes surrounding male identities and representations of masculinity, sexuality, nightlife, and popular culture. 

The artist consistently combines creative writing with an admiration of cinema, he allows the subjects he challenges and discusses within his work, to playfully deliver narratives and hint at versions of events that combine fact and fiction. Aaron's early creative involvement in digital media continues to strongly influence his approach to work and thematic ideas.
