David Morrison: Transitional Nature in Colored Pencil
View through Artsy
David Morrison transforms weathered leaves, seedpods, branches and blooms into luminous icons. Using only colored pencil, he achieves a startling trompe l’oeil realism, each form suspended on a stark white ground with shadows so precise they seem tangible. Favoring specimens in states of transition or decay, Morrison invites reflection on beauty, impermanence, and mortality.
