Nick Morris’ work is really appealing. I like how he draws upon iconic ephemera from his childhood to create strong graphic works. The topless women fascinate me less. ;) But perhaps they belong to their time…
"All of my art is the accumulation of images that have permeated my mind since I was a kid up until now. I grew up in a small Australian country town called Ballarat. There was lot’s of beer, muscle cars, Playboy magazines, soap opera type romance , football and a few tough guys.....TV was also a big influence with the likes of the Bionic Man, Planet of the Apes the Brady Bunch being indelibly etched in my mind. It was not just the images themselves but the feelings associated with those images. " -Nick Morris
