Edward Morris's Friends

Edward Morris's Groups

Edward Morris and V Art are now friends

Jun 29, 2010

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Conceptual, Drawing, Installation, Painting, Photography, Printmaking

I am...: a painter primarily, although I am currently producing a number of drawings and am in the process of starting some limited run screen prints. I also dable with video and installation pieces which tend to incorporate. manipulate or mutate my paintings or drawings

About my artwork: Edward Morris works and lives in Nottingham and spends his time creating his work between his 2 studios, 1 which is near the centre of Nottingham, which is larger than the studio in the loft of his house. This creates an interesting dialogue in his practice between the work produced in the 2 spaces as scale of his work is often increased significantly in the studio away from his house. His work is now progressing at a rapid rate as he is now completely focused on his art after retiring from the rat race. His current series of paintings/drawings, "hypochondria drawings", are influenced primarily by the different daily aches and pains that he feels, or at least believe that he feels! However, they also reflect upon his previous series of work surrounding scientific research in to the possible, and increasingly probable, existence of parallel universes. In this series he is drawing maps which start with his aches and pains, borrow from the M-theory, and steal from my subconscious, as well as drawing inspiration from Lousie Bourgeois's “Insomnia” drawings. Further images of this work will be uploaded on to this page soon, and any feedback will be greatly appreciated. If you have any interest in purchasing any of the work shown on here please contact the artist for further details and pricing via this website.

The more recent paintings (added July 9) are interesting from a painterly perspective, but I find the works listed above to be more resolved. Perhaps you were breaking away from this level of finish with the new works. The (more recent) application of the paint gives a contrast that feels uncomfortable but not unwelcome. It's good territory. I'm in Nottingham regularly - if you're showing anywhere I would love to see your work in reality. Best regards, Mark
