SUMMARY:Opening Night: Cubist Artist Brandon Morrison Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, September 18 at 6 PM for the opening of a dynamic new exhibition by Atlanta-based Cubist artist Brandon Morrison.\nThe evening will feature an artist talk and the highly anticipated reveal of Morrison’s latest work\, offering guests an intimate look into his influences\, techniques\, and creative process.\nOften incorporating automatic drawing\, printmaking\, collage\, and found objects\, Morrison creates paintings that are rhythmic\, dense\, and deeply influenced by the artists and musicians who inspire him. His figurative works nod to Picasso\, Willem de Kooning\, and Romare Bearden\, while mixing abstraction and accident with gestural elements that echo Pollock’s action painting and the raw energy of graffiti. Flat layers of color reveal the unmistakable touch of a printmaker.\nBold\, layered\, and alive with movement\, Morrison’s work invites viewers to discover something new with every look.\nOpening Reception\nFriday\, September 18 | 6 PM\nArtist Talk + Reveal of New Work\nMirrorball Gallery | Downtown Tryon\nFree and open to the public. \n♦
