Illumination (noun)
1. the act of illuminating or the state of being illuminate;
2. a source of light;
3. spiritual or intellectual enlightenment, insight or understanding.
ARTIST's STATEMENT:
"To be illuminated is to gain awareness, knowledge, insight, inspiration and guidance. This, in turn, heightens our senses on every level: determining the way we perceive the vibration of colour, the energy of light and the essence of our environment.
The aim of all my work is to demonstrate the energy, joy, colour and light of the natural world while alluding to something more metaphysical and meaningful through infusions of my own philosophy about the themes of balance, harmony, contemplation and spirit. My intention is always to calm, soothe and instil a meditative, reflective response in the viewer.
In keeping with the concept of illumination, these paintings reflect the new world we are moving into as a people and a planet: inspired by and merging with the presence of spirit and with a sense of greater understanding and awareness of - and for - one another on our unified journey."
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Anthony Morrison holds a B.A in Visual Communications from the Sydney College of the Arts (1986).
Using his knowledge of classical principles and colour theory, Anthony works in acrylics, oils, lacquers, translucent glazes, colour varnishes and sprays. Influenced by both classical/romantic and modern abstract styles, he continues to develop his own unique vision and technique of layering and distressing the paint, often with scraping, scumbling and staining, which results in the “aged”-yet-modern appearance of his works.
Many of Anthony’s paintings take several weeks to complete as he builds up to 60 layers of varying, suspended colours and tinted glazes to bring depth, richness and perspective to each - allowing this myriad of subtle hues and translucencies to enhance underlying textures and “speak” of soon-to-be revealed worlds and dimensions.
