Jude Griebel Art-Paintings

Jude Griebel is a Montreal-based artist, and his work focuses on the concession of identity through narrative imagery, drawn from both story bound and biographical contexts. His paintings show individuals in allegorical and mystical situations, imbuing everyday settings with otherworldly significance. Figures are typically depict in states of vanishing, suggesting escape and disengagement from the realities of life. The liminal impression of these works pays honor to the transitory and mythological settings of picture book illustration, archival spirit photography, and dramatic stage design.
