David Morrison
Stick Series No. 4, Photorealist colored pencil drawing, still life, 2015

2015

About the Item

Artist David Morrison creates hyperrealistic, yes abstracted, 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: 16.88h x 31.88w in Signature: Signed lower right, "David Morrison" Provenance: Artist to GarveySimon, New York, NY
