PAUL MORRISON.
AN ARTIST WHO COULD SURELY STAND A VERY GOOD CHANCE IN A LAW SUIT AGAINST IKEA FOR THEIR VARIOUS 'ART CANVASES AND WALL PAPER DESIGNS.
I FEAR MORRISON'S WORK WOULD HAVE HAD A LARGER IMPACT WHEN HE FIRST STARTED WITH THE BLACK AND WHITE LANDSCAPES IN THE LATE '90S, BUT IT IS EQUALLY ENJOYABLE TO SEE VECTOR-LIKE REPRODUCIBLES BEING EXHIBITED IN SUCH HIGH STATURE SPACES.
MORRISON HAS CARVED A SLICK NICHE, MIXING HIGH SCIENTIFIC BOTANICAL, ARTISANAL LIKE DRAWING WITH THE LOW ARTS OF THE CARTOON.
HIS WORK PERHAPS INHERITS A CRITIQUE FROM OTHER WORKING ARTISTS DUE TO ITS REPRODUCTIVE NATURE, CONSTANT USE OF SAME IMAGERY AND HIS COMMERCIAL SUCCESS AND MARKETING CHOICES.
ALL PEAS FOR THE PIE I SAY.
