Biography

Robert J. Morris was born in South Australia in 1949 and studied in Brisbane and Europe. A painter and sculptor, he held his first solo shown in Brisbane in 1970. It was while living in London in 1987 that the paintings took a new direction. That year Morris was inspired by the Mark Rothko retrospective (1903 - 1970) at the Tate Gallery. Morris soon moved to the United States where he continues to live and work today. Morris has exhibited throughout Australia including solo exhibitions in Sydney and Brisbane. International exhibitions include venues in London, Italy and Tokyo. Morris' work is represented in the Queensland Art Gallery and several institutional collections. Robert J. Morris has exhibited with Marta Hewett Gallery since the gallery opened in 1991.
