Dallas Art Fair

An exhibition of works by H.E. Morris

10 - 13 April, 2025

Fashion Industry Gallery, Dallas, TX

LBF Contemporary is pleased to announce its participation in the Dallas Art Fair 2025, featuring a solo presentation by London-based artist H.E. Morris. This presentation highlights a series of seven new paintings, exploring themes of memory, emotion, and the transience of time.

Morris (b. 1989, New York) is a major new talent in contemporary painting whose works recall the tactility of Antoni Tàpies and the expressivity of Perle Fine. By imagining her work as encountered in medias res, or in the middle of things, as in the scene of a play, Morris has a remarkable capacity to capture something of the transience of finite life using an innovative arsenal of materials. While based in east London, Morris recently completed a PhD in Fine Art at Newcastle University and holds a Masters in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths. By all accounts, Morris is an intellectual painter who in- fuses philosophical and existential ideas into her process-driven work. By using unforgiving materials like linen and fabric, which foreclose the artist’s ability to go back over, remedy or modify previous interventions, as is possible in most canvas paintings, Morris’s work returns the making of painting as an arena in which the artist acts.

This new series of work delves deeper into the notion of time as both an emotional and physical force. Each piece presents a vivid exploration of the way memory and emotion are etched into the surfaces of her canvases. Through the integration of layered textures, stitching, and bold brushstrokes, Morris transforms her paintings into visceral objects that reflect the complex depths of human consciousness.
