Morphology

Through the technique of drawing, painting, installations and land art, Jack McNiven explores forms in movement. He uses morphology to dissect his subjects – Man, animals, nature – reducing them to their lines, their folds, their wrinkles. Made with chalk on a blackboard, his drawings appear, disappear and rediscover the ephemeral nature of all movement. In the form of installations, his drawings temporarily inhabit marine, urban and rural landscapes and bear witness to the interactions between artistic creation and nature.

Among its exhibitions in 2022: Teachers also scribble, Beaux-Arts de Paris; Forney Library – Nuit Blanche and Mullion Cove, Cornwall.
