27 June - 18 July 2004

 

Frank Morris was born in Toowoomba, Queensland in 1956 and has lived in Western Australia since a teenager. He has completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Visual Arts at Curtin University of Technology and studied Anthropology at the University of Western Australia. He has held two previous solo exhibitions at Galerie Düsseldorf in 1998 and 2001 and has also participated in various group exhibitions. His work is represented in the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, nationally in the ArtBank collection Sydney and in many private and corporate collections. The exhibition "ONOMATOPOEIA" at Galerie Düsseldorf looks at the tradition of European Landscape painting and demonstrates that much of the tradition of 'Landscape' is captive to a disembodied eye. Frank Morris' work is an attempt at a visual onomatopoeia to landscape and the return of the eye to the body.
