| Joseph Griffith's "The First Thanksgiving" (2013) |
Virginia-based artist
Joseph Griffith is consumed by the act of methodically blending the strange, the contemporary, and religious references into displays of visual delight. Drawing upon the influence of masters like Van Eyck, Trumbull, and Van der Helst, the inspired works of Joseph Griffith are also derived from his odd dreams. His work has been described as postmodern, surreal, and lowbrow. His painting "The First Thanksgiving" is dramatic contrast to traditionalist “
The First Thanksgiving 1621,” by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris. We think you will agree that it's different from most all
Thanksgiving paintings! His studio is lined with his original Nintendo collection, various fossils, arcade machines, and inspirational art from other artists.

| I wanted to be sure future generations of Americans knew how the very first Thanksgiving went down, so I created this for Charles City County (Virginia) to celebrate the 400th anniversary of our first Thanksgiving. To this day I never received a response to my emails. (2013) [Purchase]
