EP 3 Jeremy Morgan : Geometric Joy and Playfulness. Graphic Design Influencing a New Visual Language in Art.

Today I have the pleasure of talking to Jeremy Morgan who I met online through ArtCan. We both exhibited in a group show, @shapeofthenew_exhibition and we featured together in an IGTV LIVE by the curator, Sukai Eccleston of Casild Art, African Art Finder. After that LIVE, something clicked and all of a sudden the format and idea of this podcast changed.

Therefore it seemed perfect for Jeremy to be my second guest to Art Seeker Island. Jeremy is a painter and graphic designer, living and working in Oxford, UK. Dividing his creative output between design and an evolving contemporary artist practice. His design background has influenced the development of his visual language, which seeks to marry dynamism and friction with the beauty and imperfection of the contemporary world. Of his work, Jeremy says: “I’m interested in the potential contradiction of responding to the fast-paced contemporary world with an older, slower technology – paint. But the marks left by my brush on the work's surface which are discernible on close inspection are important signifiers of the possibilities which painting still holds to respond to our present times.”
