Morgan Stokes’ post-minimal sensibility and meditative process is evident with the gentle working of each surface. This latest series of work recalls the origins of art, the nature of creation, and the role of material in an increasingly material-free culture.

Morgan says of this work, “In my work I explore and reinterpret the medium of painting, and more recently, sculpture. From a conceptual approach, I aim to dissect painting into its discrete elements, such as linen, paint or stretcher bars, to enquire into what makes a painting in the digital age. By creating formal studies into material, I explore what I call the ‘virtual gaze’, that is, how our mode of perception is shifting as our lives are increasingly mediated by the screen.
