Original painting in oil on canvas.
"A glimpse into the ordered chaos of a working harbour. Vivid highlights jump out from the mass of shapes and tones of this traditional working environment."
Johnny Morant
The paintings of Johnny Morant are beautifully conceived, figurative forms which generate a dream-like pliancy. The use of pastel, soporific colouring contrasted with deep flesh tones and warm shadows allude to a sensation of an encompassing light. The figure, whose gaze always eludes us, dissipates into the background releasing the form into new dimensions of space.
