Brian Griffiths

Brian Griffiths’s practice focuses on transforming overlooked, everyday materials into imaginative and playful sculptural installations imbued with humor and melancholy. He repurposes second-hand furniture, cut linoleum, textbooks, and discarded household objects, reconfiguring them into oversized, absurd forms that challenge conventional ideas of value and function. His work creates “conceptual architectures” that blend childlike wonder with critical wit, inviting viewers into immersive environments that encourage associative storytelling and mental play. Drawing inspiration from British comedy and surrealism, Griffiths uses familiar junk as metaphors for displacement, nostalgia, and escape. His installations explore the tension between surface and depth, fiction and reality, merging social commentary with theatrical elements. Through this process, he reimagines discarded objects as provocative and thought-provoking spaces, prompting viewers to reconsider the meaning and potential of everyday materials and cultural narratives. ...

Sans titre is a gallery based in Paris. It initially operated as a project space and after three years of a nomadic existence (2016 – 2019) and numerous atypical spaces occupied (private apartments, industrial spaces, parking lots, a shipyard, a few hotel rooms, restaurants, etc.), Sans titre moved into a permanent address and embraced the gallery model. It is now located 13, rue Michel Le Comte, a few steps from the Centre Pompidou, in a former Restoration-era bar, whose facade is registered as a Historic Monument. Throughout, Sans titre works to promote international artists in the early stages of their careers. Alongside organizing exhibitions in a multidisciplinary approach, the gallery publishes fanzines, produces edition and creates events related to the represented artists. ...
