Pick of the Day – Noredin Morgan
I’ve been a resident of Billerica, Massachusetts for the past 23 years. My artistic craft was honed and developed while living in New York City and abroad in Europe. Although I worked for 25 years as a director of research at WR.Grace
and ITW , my true passion has always been art, as my friends will readily agree.
Most of my paintings are figurative portraits made in a spontaneous, expressionist manner. I use mixed media on canvas, wood, paper and other surfaces. Some of my figures might suggest a relationship, story or other significant moment in time. My paintings are used as a vehicle to share my personal view of the world.
‘I learned art from art.’ This education has given me a freedom of expression as well as a rich archive of techniques and styles upon which to build my art. My references come from many sources – ,, Klee, Picasso, African
masks, Islami, Coptic, and Egyptian artifacts. ‘The canvas leads me more than I lead it.’ For the past few years, I’ve been experimenting with digital print images. This new art genre is in its infancy. Typically, I begin with an
original drawing or painting. Once the picture has been scanned or photographed with a digital camera and the image is in the computer, I set about creating something new. The computer images are manipulated and color enhanced
backgrounds are changed or added, and the resulting digital painting is a new work of art unique to the 21st century as surely as impressionism was unique to the 19th century. In the manipulation of the images I ‘discover more depth and
reality.’ I enjoy blending elements of the ancient and avant-garde to create images that resonate both with tradition and innovation.
