David Morrison
Firewood Series No. 9, hyperrealist colored pencil drawing

2018

About the Item

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.

His drawings are often mistaken for a photograph from afar - on approach, they dissolve into a mesmerizing display of mark-making.This new body of work plays with the boundaries between organic and manufactured: the metal imposters are resplendent as they perch, pert and expectant, on wilting greenery. Yet another layer of irony, the toy birds...
