Lot Essay

Painted in 2012, is an elegant early work by Freya Douglas Morris. Born in London, the artist is recognised for her wistful, timeless approach to paint, which in some ways echoes the fluid vistas of Peter Doig. ‘To a degree’, she says, ‘almost all of the work I make is an “artificial arcadia”, in some respects the places and worlds I depict are utopian, but the constructs of the landscapes are very much artificial. I meld different aspects of places together, playing with a variety of signs, flora, foliage, pattern, location, landscape and narrative that together depicts both anywhere and nowhere … Memory is an interesting device; it edits, adapts, heightens and loses visual information. The places I have seen, books I’ve read, landscapes I’ve viewed, either in first person or in film, are used as a way of creating the essence of a place.’
