Through collage-like compositions, layering, and juxtaposition, her paintings examine what endures across time, what is lost, and how identity is recognised and reconstructed across centuries and shifting cultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on historical imagery, symbolism, and fragments of narrative, Morrison creates richly atmospheric works that exist between figuration and dream logic. Her paintings often hold a tension between intimacy and theatricality, where references from art history, folklore, and personal memory are brought into dialogue through painterly accumulation and disruption. Surface becomes both a physical and psychological space, carrying traces of revision, concealment, and revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorrison completed a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Exeter College of Art and Design, UK (1985–1988), following a Foundation course at Falmouth Art College, UK (1984–1985).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolo exhibitions include \u003cem\u003ePlay-Time\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, London (2025); \u003cem\u003eVanitas\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh (2023); \u003cem\u003eFixing Eyes with the Unseen\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh (2021); \u003cem\u003eTime Will Tell\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh (2019); and \u003cem\u003eThe Eternal Return\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh (2018).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected group exhibitions include the London Art Fair with Beaux Arts, London (2026); \u003cem\u003eBy Imagination We Live\u003c\/em\u003e at Beaux Arts, Bath (2026); \u003cem\u003eStrange Magic\u003c\/em\u003e at Andelli Art, Wells (2025); \u003cem\u003eBucolia II\u003c\/em\u003e at Blue Shop Galleries, London (2025); \u003cem\u003eReverb\u003c\/em\u003e at Florence Trust, London (2025); Saatchi Art Fair with Beaux Arts, London (2025); KunstRAI with KochXBos, Amsterdam (2025); the RWA Open Exhibition, Bristol (2024); \u003cem\u003eAt Cross Purposes\u003c\/em\u003e touring Aberystwyth University, Oriel Môn, Queen Street Studios Gallery Belfast, and Elysium Gallery Swansea (2023); the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition (2023); the Inaugural Group Exhibition at Salon 21, New York (2023); \u003cem\u003eCruel Intentions\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, London (2021); the Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition at Mall Galleries (2018); \u003cem\u003eJust Putting It Out There\u003c\/em\u003e at James Freeman Gallery, London (2018); \u003cem\u003eThe Dark Tide\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery (2017); \u003cem\u003eThe Amorist\u003c\/em\u003e at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh (2017); and the London Art Fair with Arusha Gallery (2017).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOAP Projects","offers":[{"title":"No insurance (+£0)","offer_id":57733103419766,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK insurance (+£15)","offer_id":58013672407414,"sku":null,"price":1215.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Europe insurance (+£25)","offer_id":57987678208374,"sku":null,"price":1225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rest of World insurance (+£35)","offer_id":57987678241142,"sku":null,"price":1235.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2714\/0060\/files\/Artwork171.jpg?v=1778236148","url":"https:\/\/aoapprojects.com\/products\/morwenna-morrison-flights-of-fancy-hermes","provider":"AOAP Projects ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
