David Morrison
David Morrison, Firewood Series No. 2, hyperrealist colored pencil drawing, 2018

2018

About the Item

In "Firewood Series No. 2," David Morrison uses colored pencils to capture the finest details of a frayed and peeling piece of birch wood. With his careful and methodical handling of his colored pencils, the viewer can almost feel the papery thinness of the bark, and the harsh texture of the greenish growth. The surface of Morrison's subject is almost a landscape in and of itself. Artist David Morrison creates hyperrealistic, finely detailed pencil drawings of found natural objects, both by observing the object itself under magnification, and also by working from a photograph, required by the closeness of each object to its point of natural disintegration. The drawings recall botanical illustrations of the nineteenth century, but differ as the historic images captured nature in a pristine, idealized condition. This work is a unique drawing in colored pencil, signed at bottom right by the artist. Framed size: 28h x 23.50w x 1.50d in. Signature: Signed lower right, “David Morrison” Provenance: Artist to GarveySimon, New York, NY
