Davis Morton’s
oil paintings capture
the subtle psychological and emotional dimensions
of his subjects. Morton’s
pieces, though representational and related to photo-realism, also take cues from
impressionism as
well as surrealism; these facets are apparent in his treatment of light,
the way
in which he builds his subject matter, and the otherworldly, dreamlike quality
his work manifests.
Davis Morton is a self-taught
artist. He has traveled extensively since 1975, visiting museums in Europe,
Asia, South America, and Africa. He has been painting full-time
since 1992.
