The Statuary
This drawing recalls a scene outside of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. It portrays three girls standing in a line in front of a large bronze statue, waiting to cross the street, yet, for the viewer, it could symbolize something entirely different.
With training in portraiture, Griffin Plumer draws attention to people in his work. He uses charcoal and a gift for storytelling to reflect the human complexities in our smoke-and-mirrors society. By layering his subjects in flourishing arrangements, he hopes to project a narrative that’s, nevertheless, open to interpretation.
