Artist: Adrian Morris

Sylvia Kouvali presents the first solo exhibition by British painter Adrian Morris (1929 - 2004) with the gallery.

Born in London, Morris devoted his life to painting while remaining largely outside the mainstream framework of the art world. Over more than five decades he produced a remarkably focused body of work,each painting developed slowly and with rigorous attention to surface, structure and atmosphere.

This exhibition focuses on Morris’s early and first mature works. Begun in the late 1950s this group was largely assembled by 1967 and charts a formative period where his distinctive visual language began to crystallise. Together, these paintings offer a rare insight into Morris’s early explorations of landscape as a psychological and perceptual space, marked by clarity, layered surfaces, and profound stillness.
