Ike E. Morgan
“Untitled” Orange, Blue & Yellow Abstract Portrait of George Washington

1990s

About the Item

Orange, blue, and yellow abstract figurative portrait by Texas artist Ike E. Morgan. This pastel drawing depicts an abstract figure of George Washington against a yellow halo on a red and orange expressionist background. Signed by the artist at the bottom left. Framed under glass in a modern wooden frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 24 in x W 35.88 in Artist Biography: Ike E. Morgan, (born in Rockdale, Texas- 1958) has always enjoyed painting portraits. His earliest known paintings from high school were historic portraits and he painted George Washington from the dollar bill when he was in the Austin State Hospital, where he resided from age 17 through age 41. Ike works in series based on the materials he has on hand and what is in his mind. His work can be created with a wide range of materials. Ike is a confident man with a great personal style and a loving manner. He paints every day, enamored with historical portraits and occasionally adding in pop culture figures from his youth, birds, or animals. This past year Ike transitioned to living in a nursing home and still paints every day. He is currently obsessed with painting sheets of money. We visit him almost every trip from our Fort Davis gallery to our Waxahachie gallery, ensuring he is stocked with art supplies, blow pops, a working record player, and any other needed or desired items. We have known and loved Ike since 1992 and he always amazes us with his wise words and incredible love for painting.

  • "Porcupine Quill Jacket" Abstract Minimalist Portrait of a Man
    By Lisa Qualls
    Located in Houston, TX
    Graphite and watercolor drawing on mylar of a figure dressed in a quill jacket made by the Cameroon grass fields people in Africa by Florida artist Lisa Qualls. Titled “Porcupine Quill Jacket,” the work was created as part of a series titled “Strawmen and Sugarbones” made for the "RAW" exhibition at O'Kane Gallery in 2009. In her artist statement for this series Qualls states: “I have isolated pieces of costumes and placed them on a person who is naked in order to emphasize the relationship between the object and person, the materials and skin, the symbol and the living being. The garments and ritual objects relate to the body in specific ways and are used to explore gender roles, societal and cultural ideas, aesthetics and spirituality. The voyeuristic element of the audience to the subjects in the drawings further emphasizes the vulnerability of the figures and their introspective and intimate poses. The figures, part soft and vulnerable, part concealed and protected, live in these ambiguous spaces as they would in a vision.” Dimensions Without Frame: H 36 in. x W 24 in. Artist Biography: Lisa received her BFA and BA from the University of Texas at Austin. She continued her studies in Fine Art and Design at Parsons and FIT in New York, NY and CISIM in Ravenna, Italy. Her work is currently represented by Ann Connelly...
