Johnny Morant

Johnny Morant (b.1982) is a contemporary figurative painter. Working primarily in oil, his evolving process explores the deconstructive analysis of traditional themes. Born in Hong Kong, he moved to England and grew up in the South West. After attending art school in Bristol and Bournemouth he moved to London where his new surroundings had a strong impact on his work. In this densely populated urban setting Morant is steadily making a name for himself as an accomplished painter of the built environment and the people within it; "Playing on the border between clarity and suggestion my work prioritises the intuitive application of paint with an aim to capture the viscosity of light and insecurity of form." Morant has had three successful solo exhibitions at the Rountree Tryon Gallery in London and has work included in many collections including Smith & Williamson, Standard Chartered Bank, Prudential plc and Old Mutual plc. He currently lives and works in West London.
