The Artist
Colin McMorran
was born in Ormskirk, Lancashire, in 1962 and still lives and
works in the region. He paints contemporary abstracts and seascapes
in acrylics. Having been a keen artist at an early age he then
carved out a career in IT, but in recent years has fallen back
to his original passion and has started to paint again - with
a vengeance.
In the two
years since his artistic 'rebirth' he has successfully sold
a mixture of abstract, semi-abstract and fine art works throughout
the UK and Europe.
His current
'infinity series' abstracts develop upon a theme questioning
our place as humans in this universe and incorporate his calligraphy
skills to add poignancy.
Colin says:
"I
am fascinated by the ongoing discoveries in the world of quantum
physics and how these very smallest of components of our universe
can help in our understanding of the very largest: the Sun,
stars, galaxies and supernovae. And how this new knowledge
has changed the way we look upon the Universe".
Colin likes
to contrast these overtly abstract works with his ongoing love
of painting the power, majesty and natural forces of nature
in his seascapes.
He has exhibited
at Preston City's Gallery of Contemporary Art 'room 107'and
is currently exhibiting at 'Gallery Nine' in Bloomsbury, London.
