Artist
Chris Morgan
British artist celebrating nostalgic pleasures through hyperreal still life painting.
Chris Morgan paints the pleasures we're supposed to outgrow—sweet jars, ice cream cones, chips drowning in ketchup. His hyperrealist technique elevates these humble subjects, treating a bag of sweets with the same reverence Old Masters afforded fruit and flowers.
There's gentle subversion in Morgan's project. "Sweet Jar" and "Chips and Ketchup" are virtuoso demonstrations of technique applied to deliberately democratic subjects. The message is clear: beauty doesn't require nobility, and pleasure doesn't require justification.
For collectors who appreciate technical mastery leavened with humour, Morgan delivers on both counts. His paintings spark joy and conversation in equal measure—art that refuses to take itself too seriously while being seriously accomplished.
