Bio

Fiona Morgan is a multidisciplinary artists based in Wudawurrung country, in regional Victoria. Morgan’s practice is focused on painting and installation, primarily concentrating on abstraction, materiality and space, employing strategies for maintaining hope and joy in an ever more anxious world and political environment. Drawing on the surrounding location both natural and architectural, Morgan employs strategies of Formalism, repetition, gestural mark making and colour field to construct abstractions that are reminiscent of environment and space, while never directly representing either. Assemblages of painted works and found objects are understood as environments filled with colour and form. With a focus on painting and reclaimed materials, such as furniture, disused building materials, Morgan’s creative process is characterised by spontaneity and experimentation, the outcome is a body of work that celebrates the artist/makers contribution and highlights the environment and the reclamation of power through the reuse and reimagining of “things.”

Morgan Studied Bachelor of Fine Art at VCA, following a period of development, Morgan returned to RMIT to complete the MFA program. Morgan has shown in group and solo shows, including a wall-based installation at the Buxton Contemporary 2018, Without Fail, Incinerator Gallery 2018, Can’t Quite Pin it Down, TCB art inc 2013.
