Christopher Colm Morrin

Abstract and small in scale, Christopher's paintings often use elemental shapes and raw saturated colours. His work has been praised for its careful and sensitive understanding of composition and the ways in which forms and colours relate to one another in different arrangements and styles. All his work is united by an open, loose and untethered exploration of what painting is and what it can do. Christopher is motivated by painting’s rich expanse rather than its categories.

In 2024, Christopher was awarded the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation artist-in-residence program, Carraig-na-gCat. Recent solo exhibitions include ‘notes’ at Gallery Sofie Van de Velde, Antwerp (2024) and ‘Witnessing Change’ and Galerie Mutter Fourage, Berlin (2023).
