James Morton’s work is imbued with the exciting and reactive immediacy of capturing a person at a specific moment in time. Characterful faces form the main terrain in which colours are manoeuvred across the canvas, using a variety of tools and techniques. Winsome, thoughtful, melancholy, and focused; each face expresses the panoply of emotions available to humankind. These are thinking faces, painted with a respect and care that Morton has fostered through dedication to his own curiosity into human expressions. Often starting with a photo, the final image leaves the photo to become something else entirely, as Morton uses gestural marks to push and pull individual features into an even deeper truth.
