From Thu. 29th May to Thu. 29th May

Philip Morrison at The Bold Gallery Family man Philip Morrison is a Welsh artist who exhibits work both nationally and throughout much of Wales including the Welsh Museum of Modern Art. After spending many years living and working in the U.K he moved to the west, to County Clare. He has lived a colourful and exciting life, experiencing thrilling jobs such a Lifeguard, Policeman, Illustrator, Graphic designer, Firefighter and finally his true calling as a wonderful artist.

Philip prefers to let the viewer make their own interpretation of the work. However his work generally concentrates on streetscapes and surf scenes from the west of Ireland. Strong shapes and colour are key signatures of his work which help to create interesting compositions and create a sense of movement. Another unique feature would be his treatment of the sky,often the sky in a painting has no physical relationship with the landscape below it. In his work he tries to bridge this by forcing a relationship between the two by use of lines that interweave between them. This gives a visual tempo to the piece.

Philip enjoys the playfulness that occurs in his work, the actual process is as important as the finished piece. He feels that the enjoyment he gets from creating the work actually reveals itself.
