David Morrison
David Morrison, Wind-Up Bird No. 1, hyperrealist colored pencil animal, 2019

2019

About the Item

David Morrison has extended his brand of hyperrealism to the artificial, capturing the intricate lithography that decorates his collection of vintage Kohler wind-up birds. His drawings are often mistaken for a photograph from afar - on approach, they dissolve into a mesmerizing display of mark-making.This new body of work plays with the boundaries between organic and manufactured: the metal imposters are resplendent as they perch, pert and expectant, on wilting greenery. Yet another layer of irony, the toy birds emit a life-like glow, while the organic matter decays. Dimensions are framed Signed lower right corner
