About Paul Morrison
Paul Morrison is best known for his black and white images that are composed collage-style as a pastiche of discrete, highly stylized representational forms. Drawing inspiration from sources that range from popular cartoons to botanical drawings and Renaissance woodcuts, Paul Morrison creates his assemblages by manipulating these found images. The artist’s hybrid compositions afford the viewer the opportunity to consider the intrinsic cognitive properties of each of the various styles and the ways in which pictorial space is created through juxtaposition. Paul Morrison was born in Liverpool and attended Goldsmiths College of Art, London. His work is in many public collections including the British Council Collection, Fogg Art Museum - Harvard University, The Museum of Modern Art – New York, Museum of Contemporary Art – Denver, the Victoria & Albert Museum and Museum of Art - Rhode Island School of Design, Providence. Paul has exhibited with solo shows at The Irish Museum of Modern Art-Dublin; Magasin Grenoble, Galleria dʼArte Moderna e Contemporanea, Bergamo ; Las Vegas Art Museum, Manchester Art Gallery, Museum of Art, Bloomberg Space - London, The Contemporary Museum – Honolulu. Paul lives and works in Sheffield and London. Paul Morrison is represented by Alison Jacques Gallery, London and Cheim and Read, New York.
