BIO
Abigail Morris is an emerging painter focusing in the abstract and contemporary genres. A majority of Abigail’s works are created primarily without the use brushes or palette knives, only the use of her hands. Key characteristics of her works include: heavy texturing, motion and emotion, and whimsical abstractions of everyday sights. Abigail’s work is heavily influenced by street art and music, as well as by artists such as: Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Piet Mondrian, Yayoi Kusama, Vincent Van Gogh, and Takashi Murakami. Abigail recently completed her first solo exhibition at Utah Valley University.
Statement
Diamond Dog - "This piece is a colorful tribute to the late David Bowie, hence the title. I wanted to create something wild and "rockstar", but still upscale and contemporary.
Cherry Blossoms - "The piece is a modern symbolization of man-made beauty juxtaposed with the beauty of nature. From afar it appears to be abstracted Japanese cherry blossoms but when the viewer looks closely at the blossoms, they will see that each petal is an individual gemstone."
