Garfield Morgan is a professional fine artist who started his art career as a Graphic Designer after graduating from the Edna Manley College of the Visual Arts in Kingston, Jamaica. Garfield L. Morgan (*1978) has a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) in Nacogdoches, Texas USA. After completing his studies in 2007, he was awarded a Post Graduate Teaching Fellowship in the School of Art at SFASU. Morgan returned to Jamaica in 2008 and taught at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in the School of Visual Arts. He has since dedicated himself to his art full time and does private workshops in Expressive Drawing and Life Drawing. In 2010 Garfield’s painting “Consumer Bird”, was one of five works by Jamaican artists selected to represent Jamaica at the Beijing Biennale in China. Garfield Morgan is a Jamaican artist who now lives and works in Montreal. He is best known for The Tarp Project - 'a socially engaged series of works using tarpaulin from the Jamaican marketplace'. Interviewed by Jacqueline Bishop for ARC Magazine, Garfield noted, 'art for me is far more engaging and challenging when the so-called, "everyday" or "non-traditional" materials are incorporated in the process.'His "re-use" of discarded materials and objects, and his recycling efforts are attempts to, "tread lightly", by lessening his carbon footprint on the planet. The elevation of the, "throw-away" or "discard" to art status, is a metaphor for the marginalized, oppressed peoples and cultures that he resurrects from destruction and near invisibility to re-engage now. Garfield’s acrylic paintings, mixed media collages, installations and reconstructions are an ongoing cycle of reflection on man, his engagement with his fellow human beings and his relationship with the environment. Artist statements <>The visible results that I achieve are a direct extension of my “self” and all my psychological pre-occupations. The often mundane and alternative objects I use is an invitation to the viewer to journey into a world of ideas that get us thinking, discovering and seeing new meanings which lie beneath the veneer of everyday life. In transforming my artist materials I aim to transform the viewer. His/Her sight becomes new insight… “My work is about transformation. It is partly about how I investigate traditional and non-traditional materials associated with drawing and painting. Thematically, I am concerned with how globalization and post-modernity have opened up new and constantly shifting ideas and perceptions of the body.
