Gareth Griffiths

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 recognized 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, Gareth’s sculptures are both formally sophisticated and emotionally resonant.

Gareth’s sculptures have been exhibited at prestigious venues including Tate Liverpool and Beaux Arts in London’s Mayfair, and he continues 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 his lifelong relationship with coastal environments.

Among numerous high-profile commissions, Gareth’s 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. Gareth’s work stands at the intersection of art, architecture, and environment—honoring 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.
