Chris Morgan
Chris Morgan’s work was shown in many local galleries and he took part in local competitions with great success which led to commissioned work. His early body of work was mainly based around a pencil, although popular in the local galleries, was not allowing him to move forward in his art career, and so he began to experiment with oil paints. Entirely self-taught, his style and skill developed with each piece, and a love of still life and portraiture emerged. Morgan loves the freedom of oil painting and aims to produce colorful, striking images of everyday objects, yet turning them into something of high impact. He says, “I’ve always been attracted to images with a strong contrast with plenty of light and shadow, this probably stems from my days as a pencil artist.” Morgan has now developed a distinct, recognizable style of his own. His collectors and supporters have grown to include some celebrity patrons. He has attended a number of celebrity charity events; donating work for auction and raising thousands for a number of great causes. Morgan also worked closely with Liverpool FC and created two original pieces for the club, including a portrait of England captain Steven Gerrard. He is always looking to improve upon his work and studies traditional oil painting methods and regularly attempts new techniques. Morgan states, “my work is very much realism, although I like to maintain a sense that it is a painting and not a photograph, and upon close inspection, the viewer is able to see the subtle paint strokes and textures that go into each piece.”

- Early oil depicting the Great Fire of LondonLocated in London, GBThe Great Fire of London in September 1666 was one of the greatest disasters in the city’s history. The City, with its wooden houses crowded together in narrow streets, was a natural fire risk, and predictions that London would burn down became a shocking reality. The fire began in a bakery in Pudding Lane, an area near the Thames teeming with warehouses and shops full of flammable materials, such as timber, oil, coal, pitch and turpentine. Inevitably the fire spread rapidly from this area into the City. Our painting depicts the impact of the fire on those who were caught in it and creates a very dramatic impression of what the fire was like. Closer inspection reveals a scene of chaos and panic with people running out of the gates. It shows Cripplegate in the north of the City, with St Giles without Cripplegate to its left, in flames (on the site of the present day Barbican). The painting probably represents the fire on the night of Tuesday 4 September, when four-fifths of the City was burning at once, including St Paul's Cathedral. Old St Paul’s can be seen to the right of the canvas, the medieval church with its thick stone walls, was considered a place of safety, but the building was covered in wooden scaffolding as it was in the midst of being restored by the then little known architect, Christopher Wren and caught fire. Our painting seems to depict a specific moment on the Tuesday night when the lead on St Paul’s caught fire and, as the diarist John Evelyn described: ‘the stones of Paul’s flew like grenades, the melting lead running down the streets in a stream and the very pavements glowing with the firey redness, so as no horse, nor man, was able to tread on them.’ Although the loss of life was minimal, some accounts record only sixteen perished, the magnitude of the property loss was shocking – some four hundred and thirty acres, about eighty per cent of the City proper was destroyed, including over thirteen thousand houses, eighty-nine churches, and fifty-two Guild Halls. Thousands were homeless and financially ruined. The Great Fire, and the subsequent fire of 1676, which destroyed over six hundred houses south of the Thames, changed the appearance of London forever. The one constructive outcome of the Great Fire was that the plague, which had devastated the population of London since 1665, diminished greatly, due to the mass death of the plague-carrying rats in the blaze. The fire was widely reported in eyewitness accounts, newspapers, letters and diaries. Samuel Pepys recorded climbing the steeple of Barking Church from which he viewed the destroyed City: ‘the saddest sight of desolation that I ever saw.’ There was an official enquiry into the causes of the fire, petitions to the King and Lord Mayor to rebuild, new legislation and building Acts. Naturally, the fire became a dramatic and extremely popular subject for painters and engravers. A group of works relatively closely related to the present picture have been traditionally ascribed to Jan Griffier...Category
