In conjunction with the 2021 Spring equinox, ‘The Equinox Collection’ by GRIF will be exclusively available on SuperRare. 

The collection presents surrealist depictions of the everyday as it is overtaken by nature. An invisible catalyst moves through each piece - a transfer of natural energy that pollinates each environment, reimagining it as an expansive floral tapestry.

The pieces are a juxtaposition between our manmade environments and nature. “This concept was born out of wanting to craft something optimistic and beautiful, but to create works thats can only exist within the medium of 3D” says GRIF. “What I love most is that these expressions of nature could never exist in the natural world, it’s a reinterpretation born only from the digital space.

And now available exclusively in the digital space. The Equinox Collection will be released in weekly increments over the late March to April period on SuperRare.

See @GRIF’s page for official release dates as well as additional artworks.

As nature begins to take its course, the juxtaposition of the uninhabited environment and the floral growth creates a striking contrast

Juxtaposition of nature

Moreover, the introduction of floral growth finds itself in evolving on the more unexpected, non-organic surfaces in the scene. Populating the graphic and geometric lines of the basketball court markings, seen here in “Angels Gate”

Expanding the dimensions of these pieces is something only achievable by the medium of 3D animation, movement is essential to the presentation concept of the works

The Transfer of Energy

The cinematography of ‘Great Basin Skate Heaven’ is a blend of fish-eye and long lens zooms, paying homage to that of classic skate videos style that’s remained prevalent in the culture since its inception.

We follow a skater as they perform tricks and stunts in a skaters paradise, located in the Utah Great Basin. The idyllic sunset scene bears witness to the transfer of energy between this floral figure and the contrasting concrete environment beneath, saturated in graffiti. The figure acting as a catalyst, pollinates the park causing nature to reclaim the concrete
