Paul Morrison at Alison Jacques Gallery

In Paul Morrison's first solo exhibition in London since 2008, for which he has executed a major architectural intervention on the façade of the gallery and installed a monumental white sculpture within the main space, the artist extends his enquiry into the nature of representation, and the representation of nature. Morrison's iconic take on landscape, portraiture and botanical illustration employs appropriation, digital modification and collage to create transhistorical mashups. The show features new large-scale paintings gilded in gold leaf and a series of white reliefs, creating an immersive and disquieting experience for viewers within Morrison's artificially natural world.
