ABOUT ME

ANN MORGAN

I paint large to take up space unapologetically, without asking permission. I use horizons, water, sun, moon, and stars to anchor the paintings to memory, to the body and the physical world, while layers of oil paint reflect the abstract noise of digital reality. Early marks remain visible as later ones build over them, allowing each painting to function as a record of time rather than an image of it – and in opposition to the speed and blur of our virtual lives.

ORIGINAL ART BY ANN MORGAN

WORK IN PROGRESS

  • In my artist statement I’ve struggled with how to present my process or even if it matters. Does it? I predominately make oil paintings. Painting is so far removed from A.I. and such a totally human thing to do, it’s unrelated. Still, I’m far from the only artist who is using and referencing digital tools or my digital life to create art and it’s worth mentioning as a relevant aspect of my work.
