Here’s A Place to Start : Andrew Morrow

Here’s A Place to Start, Andrew Morrow’s first solo exhibition with Studio Sixty Six, marks a shift away from Western historical narrative painting towards intimate, personal, and socially-motivated figurative works. Drawing from theorists and philosophers Elizabeth Povinelli, Georg Hegel, Édouard Glissant and Hannah Arendt, Morrow proposes a material painting practice grounded in notions of friendship and rooted in mutual recognition, opacity, stewardship, transparency, and appearance. Developed principally from what Morrow calls “studio sessions” (provisional spaces of mutual and consensual sovereignty) the paintings in this exhibition act as public indexes of the artist’s private and personal exchanges.
