Nigel Morris

Nigel is a visual artist working in North Wales in the UK making paintings and prints. His work evolves from the perception of abstraction, symmetry, system, and organisation, while working with these parameters it is a continual challenge to break away from these configurations. The practice and process of making visual art is for Nigel an immersive act prompting questions, conclusions and development generating more analysis of the same it’s an organic cycle of progression. Working in this way the product is never static, a question or idea is posed, and the practice engages this and work comes out of that equation. This means the practice works with a basic range of “tools” but the formula changes resulting in variables of the art made. In recent years the work has returned to the proposition of mark making and his own interpretation of this fundamental act.

December2017        Level 3 Award in Education and Training

September 2015.     Completed an MA in Fine Art, at UCLAN, passing with distinction.

September 2012      Started the MFA post graduate degree at Edinburgh College of Art. After the first semester I decided to withdraw from the course because the course had little to offer in relation to my practice.

June 2012                 I completed the fine art undergraduate course at The University of Chester. I graduated with 1st class honours.

Before starting this in 2009 I had been a decorative artist for approximately twenty-five years, this consisted of producing paint effects, murals, stencilling, etc.
This involved me working with companies and private clients, producing themed ideas which would be completed by myself to the clients satisfaction.
Previous to this, in 1972-1977 I attended Bolton Art College, where I completed a foundation course and a surface pattern and textile design course, achieving a SIAD qualification.
