In February 2008, British artist Paul Morrison will present an installation of vinyl wall design in LVAM’s Main Gallery, with a video and selection of paintings and prints shown in the Polis Carver Gallery. The London-based artist is noted for his distinctive, black and white graphic-style compositions, which feature a pastiche of discrete, highly stylized representational forms that appear derived from disparate graphic genres. Drawing inspiration for his motifs from sources that range from popular cartoons to botanical drawings to Albrecht Dürer woodcuts, and often maintaining incongruous scale, Morrison unifies his compositions with artificial spatial configurations that nevertheless intimate perspectival recession. Born in 1966 in Liverpool, Morrison received a B.F.A. from Sheffield City Polytechnic in 1988, and an M.F.A. from Goldsmith’s College of Art, London, in 1998. His work has been presented at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Cambridge; The Drawing Center, New York; ICA, London; MUHKA, Antwerp; Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Germany; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and other art institutions. He is represented by Allison Jacques, London.
