St. Louis artist Christi Griffin is inviting art lovers into a world where color, texture, and emotion collide with the opening of her newest exhibition, A Symphonic Fusion of Color and Design, at Angad Arts Hotel in Grand Center.
Presented by Delux Magazine and benefiting The Ethics Project, the exhibition showcases Griffin’s evolving artistic voice through a collection of expressive abstract paintings and mixed-media works. Set inside one of St. Louis’ most art-centered destinations, the exhibit reflects both the creative energy of the city and Griffin’s unique perspective as an emerging visual artist. The Angad Arts Hotel is known for integrating art throughout its guest experience, featuring rotating exhibitions and artist programming that celebrates local and regional creatives.

A Celebration of Color, Emotion, and Storytelling
The exhibition’s title, A Symphonic Fusion of Color and Design, captures the essence of Griffin’s work.

Rather than depicting literal scenes, her paintings encourage viewers to experience movement, memory, and feeling through bold compositions, layered textures, and vibrant palettes. Every canvas offers a different rhythm—some calm and contemplative, others energetic and expressive.

Among the featured works are:
- Catching Up With Time
- A Patch of Blue
- Rhythms and Clues
- Brown Sugar & Tea
- Harambee
- Imitation of a Patchwork Quilt
- Unchain My Heart, The Sculpted Collection
- Fire Dance at Dawn

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, with select mixed-media pieces on paper, Griffin explores abstraction while allowing each painting to tell its own emotional story. Her work draws inspiration from music, community, personal reflection, and the beauty found within unexpected color combinations.
Art That Invites Conversation

One of the strengths of Griffin’s collection is its accessibility.
Whether viewers are longtime collectors or simply discovering contemporary abstract art for the first time, the exhibition offers multiple points of connection. Geometric compositions sit comfortably alongside expressive gestural paintings, creating an experience that feels both cohesive and diverse.
Pieces such as Imitation of a Patchwork Quilt celebrate structure, balance, and color harmony, while works like Fire Dance at Dawn and Harambee burst with layered movement and rich texture. The result is a gallery experience that feels musical—much like the exhibition’s title suggests.
Supporting Art With Purpose

Beyond celebrating creativity, the exhibition also serves a greater mission.
Presented by Delux Magazine, the opening supports The Ethics Project, reinforcing the belief that art can inspire dialogue, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for meaningful engagement.
The collaboration reflects Delux Magazine’s continued commitment to highlighting local artists while connecting culture, philanthropy, and creative expression throughout St. Louis.
The Perfect Setting: Angad Arts Hotel

Located in the heart of the Grand Center Arts District, Angad Arts Hotel has become one of St. Louis’ most recognizable creative destinations. The boutique hotel was designed around the idea of immersing guests in art, featuring rotating exhibitions, artist installations, colorful themed guest rooms, and public gallery spaces that celebrate regional talent.

Hosting Griffin’s exhibition continues that mission by providing visitors with an opportunity to experience original artwork in an environment built specifically to celebrate creativity.
An Invitation to Experience the Collection

A Symphonic Fusion of Color and Design is more than an art exhibition—it’s an invitation to slow down, observe, and discover new meaning through color and abstraction.
Each piece encourages viewers to bring their own interpretation, creating a personal connection between artist and audience. Whether you’re an avid collector, an emerging artist, or simply someone who appreciates creative expression, Christi Griffin’s latest body of work offers a memorable visual experience in one of St. Louis’ most inspiring venues.
