THE A4 BIOMORPHIA SERIES
Following the celebrations for his 95th birthday on January 24 th , 2023, Morris began a long series of biomorphic A4 (11.5” x 8”) watercolours on paper. These were of a special kind. In previous years, he had made many black ink drawings. These were stored in drawers, one drawer for each year. Searching though these, he selected some that he felt could be improved by the addition of watercolour. The backgrounds were left untouched and only the figures themselves had the coloured paints added. Once the paint had dried, inkstippling was applied to give the shapes more solid bodies.
The dates on these watercolours refer to the original black ink drawings. They are relevant because they indicate when the actual image was first created. The added colours and stippling all date from January to May 2023.
