Morgan Slade is a Los Angeles born multi-media artist and photographer currently living in Richmond, Virginia. He received a BA in Fine Art from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1991. His paintings, mixed-media, photography and film works have been exhibited in Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Virginia and Sweden.
By incorporating found photography, wallpaper samples, and other discarded digital imagery, Morgan Slade utilizes the canvas as an open plane where seemingly disparate images cohere with a certain intensity. It is within this moment that a sense of plot or harmony is developed through a collision of signs, however brief and to what significance is open to interpretation. Many of these works point to a momentary narration with a fleeting sense of nostalgia and memorial. With further viewing, the images display elements of solitude, romance and fantasy.
We Protect Our Little Fictions employs the computer as a tool. Images are layered, deconstructed, reappropriated, and reinterpreted to create a dense interplay between memory, time, form, context and emotion.
