About John Morris

Early epiphanies with Cezanne led to a discovery of other 19th century masters like Manet and Delacroix, and they in turn threw me back to the 16th century. I soon fell in love with the Italian Renaissance. The meeting of the sensual, the dreamlike, and the “real” in artists like Titian and Raphael opened my eyes to a realm of aesthetic possibilities. Little surprise, then, to find myself painting in a style rooted in these traditions, where the goal of the artist is to capture an ideal instance, out of time. I want my images to deliver the viewer to a moment between consciousness and dream. A “waking dream,” that is more cognizant of the facets of “reality”—color, substance, and form—than the waking sleep of a somnambulist. The tension between states of perception drives my choices, and I want to communicate this atemporal image to the passing audience. Because it is in this sense that we actually experience life’s rich pageant—in the menagerie of memory, collecting pieces of each moment as they tumble to the next—that the image is rich in variety, emotion, psychology, and sensuality. I don’t believe in limiting my vocabulary of subject, colors, or iconography. These days, I tend to focus on the contemplative on the one hand, the comic on the other. I have also found that depictions of the human form help me to create the mood I seek. The psychology inherent in a static human face continues to be the portal I’m looking for.
