Morris Vogel, Doomed, 2018. Ink on washi paper. Digital reproduction. 51 x 80 cm.
⠀
Much of Morris Vogel’s practice is uncertain. Through developing a simplistic and often figurative approach to portraying chaos, Doomed employes an automatist approach to artmaking. Pioneered by several Surrealist artists including Joan Miró and André Masson, this automatic approach to drawing relinquishes thought and consideration from the painting technique, allowing a unconscious painterly approach to form. Here, Doomed, centred around a rendition of the planet Earth, ludic figures and mesmerising geometric patterns, allows a view into the mind of the artist.
⠀
Morris Vogel is a self-taught fine artist and illustrator currently based in Basel, Switzerland. Vogel examines surreal manifestations of politics, existentialism, awareness and human nature through a highly stylised black and white drawing style. His works have been exhibited at Kunsthallekleinbasel, Switzerland, Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavillion, Serbia and YOPE project space, Mexico.
