ANNIE MORRIS
NEW WORKS
ProjectB presents the second solo show in Milan by the British artist Annie Morris.
The
exhibition brings together the artist’s characteristic works such as: her
distinctive ‘Stacks of Joy’ (Wall
street Journal), comprised of stacked
“spheres” richly painted in pigment that defy gravity, reaching majestically
for the sky sourced from all over the world. There is an illusory
precariousness that distinguishes them; tapestries and embroideries, on which
Morris sews her surreal automatic draws.
The
artist's multidisciplinary approach, ranging from drawing to sculpture, from
collage to painting, employs a wide range of materials, which she uses to
explore life, love, loss and memory.
A
common feature of all the artist's works is the repetition of the same delicate
gesture, a sort of playful obsession that creates evocations full of energy and
drowns the viewer into an apparently sea of details.
"The
emotional impact of her pictorial gesture accompanies the viewer in the
transition from figurative to abstract painting". - Wall Street Journal,
NY 2014
