Stephen Morrison’s Trompe-L’œil ‘Dog World’ Paintings Are Fetching

Artist Stephen Morrison is presenting a solo exhibition titled 'Dog Show #5: Field Recordings' at SLAG&RX gallery in New York. The show features his vibrant, trompe-l'œil paintings that embed canine features into compositions of everyday objects and textiles, referencing his personal connections to Paris, New York City, and Maine.

The exhibition explores themes of belonging, memory, and creative conflict through Morrison's unique visual language. His work, which transforms personal and cultural artifacts into a whimsical 'dog world,' has garnered attention and leads to upcoming opportunities, including an artist residency in Tokyo and exhibitions in Seoul and San Francisco, highlighting his growing presence in the contemporary art scene.
