Graeme Morris - woman in flowery sweater

Graeme Morris is a figurative and portrait artist who graduated with a B.A. from the Glasgow School of Art. His work focuses primarily on the human figure and portraiture, with oil on canvas forming the central part of his practice.

Morris draws inspiration from found photographs, personal drawings, observation, and imagination, using these sources as starting points for intuitive and expressive paintings. His practice also encompasses a range of materials and techniques, including china marker, pencil, biro, acrylic, and oil paint.

Combining elements of traditional figurative representation with a personal and expressive approach, Morris’s paintings explore the character, presence, and individuality of the human form. His work continues to evolve through an ongoing exploration of materials, imagery, and the possibilities of contemporary figurative painting.

title : woman in a flowery sweater Description:
Original contemporary oil painting depicting a woman seated in a relaxed pose, wearing a white sweater with a bold pink floral pattern and green trousers. The figure is portrayed against a warm, simplified interior background, with one arm raised above her head, creating a strong and expressive composition.

The painting combines a contemporary figurative approach with expressive brushwork and a distinctive use of colour. Soft pastel greens and pinks contrast with deeper earthy tones and the warm skin tones of the subject. The simplified forms and visible brushstrokes give the work a modern, painterly character while retaining the intimacy of a traditional portrait.

The painting is signed by the artist Morris in the upper left corner.
