Despite hard metal and sharp edges, Pard Morrison’s aluminum sculptures create an effect of playfulness, of movement and animation. Standing still, they emit a keen sense of aliveness. With their brilliant colors, lively geometries and stark physicality, the metal sculptures are the result of Morrison’s conversation with nature, with his personal contemplations in the forest.
Morrison has produced a body of work that is both intelligent and expressive. Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Nature always wears the colors of the spirit,” and Pard Morrison brings us a forest filled with jubilance and inspiration; an exhibition of barely restrained joy.
