Brian Morrissey, by Opus Underground on Jun 4, 2008 16:39:50 GMT 1, Brian Morrissey is a graduate of Camberwell School of Art and is an Irish artist who lives and works in London.
Through photography and narrative Morrissey presents us with visual depictions of life, death and all the wild, wonderful and woeful bits in between. Morrissey is like a latter day Bruegel as in a single image he has told us a whole lifeโs story, a story like it is.
Morrissey gives us the good the bad and the ugly. His works on first inspection are colourful and bright with happy colors and a retro kitsch feel but in close up we see a peeling surface of consumerism, disposability, sex, death and decay. Morrisseyโs photographs are strange quasi worlds where fact and fiction parade themselves on an equal plain. This is a world where stuffed fluffy kittens meet rats with rigamortus and love and violence walk hand in hand. Morrissey of course gives everything a generous dusting of sugar as he draws us into his complex worlds of debauched splendor leaving us with iconographic references that show the physical and social climate of our time.
We are really pleased to have Morrisseys work available now at Opus Underground now priced at pre publication prices from ยฃ450 + VAT and are editions of 10
