David Morris’ figurative realism stems from an intense and persistent interest in human anatomy from multiple perspectives: beauty in form, function, and structure. While continuing to teach anatomy at the medical school level, he uses charcoal, graphite, and oil paint in his artwork to convey something beyond the scientific aspect of the
body. He has a deep affection for working from life and strives to share something about what he experienced in the presence of that person represented. In this process of portraying people, Morris explores concepts of psyche, intimacy, and gaze as it relates to gender.
