21-art

My name is Amuri Morris and I’m an artist based in Richmond, Va. I recently graduated from painting/ printmaking and business at Virginia Commonwealth University such as a VMFA Fellowship. Throughout the years I have acquired several artistic accolades. I aim to promote diversity in art canon, specifically focusing on the black experience and bringing an ethereal sense to ordinary subjects. You can find my work at http://www.murisart.com or on instagram under @miss.mur.arti and @miss.muri

Artist Statement: Gauguin famously (supposedly!) said, “If you see a tree as red, paint it red!” A native New Englander who is a longtime New York resident (recently in the Bronx), I have been trying to see the red trees. My work plays along the border between an impressionist naturalism and the temptations of abstraction fed by influences as seemingly different as late Monet, Albert Pinkham Ryder and Mark Rothko. I try to hew to the dictum of another New York-to-Vermont painter, Wolf Kahn, who said a painting should have “contrast, drama, and austerity.” Goals to aspire to.
