AUTOFICTIONS: Paintings by Shaun Morris

Showcasing the artwork of Shaun Morris.

Drop in | Included with admission

Birmingham-based painter Shaun Morris explores empty and everyday spaces across the West Midlands, which aren’t typically visited as destinations but passed through. However, with his magical realist style, he captures their poetic beauty, and invites viewers to spend time in them, often by nightfall.

For this solo show, Shaun Morris has visited late night truck stops, his local high street, and Birmingham’s parks.

Through his painterly style, Morris manipulates a sense of ambiguity. Working at the intersection of abstraction and realism, his visual language, just like his pictured sites, is that of an in-betweenness. Layering personal memories, shared stories and collective histories, he paints pictures with possibilities.
