Paul MORRISON
Paul Morrison’s Ochreais a bucolic scene complete with apple tree, rendered in stark, bold black lines reminiscent of a print or papercut. Finding motifs from nature in pictures of different eras and genres, from the realistic ink drawings of Renaissance woodcuts, to modern animations, Morrison puts these onto his computer, edits them to the desired scale and proportions, and assembles them into work. The imaginary scenes produced in this manner are drawn in a familiar, reassuring style, yet at the same time, are oddly uncanny.
