Freya Douglas-Morris
Freya Douglas-Morris graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Brighton University has recently shown a series of solo exhibitions at Super Bien Project Space (Berlin), the Boys Club (London) and Dr Morgan Gallery (London). Douglas-Morris accumulates source material (images and photographs of landscapes) from trips undertaken abroad and her landscapes are as much psychological as they are geographic. While her paintings are not intended to be site-specific documentations, the formal process through which she paints – bringing together on the surface various overlapping landscapes and objects –reflects the disjointed and cumulative way she remembers places. Memory, time and narrative all merge into a concomitant landscape that appears strangely familiar and into which the viewer can relate.

Oil on board
A setting for something left unknown. A narrative left intentionally oblique. Douglas-Morris creates fleeting glimpses of landscapes, which slip between the abstract and the representational. Often un-trodden and secluded, they describe a world of escapism and lost longing.
