Scott Morgan

Scott Morgan was born in Patuexent River Maryland in 1957. He studied painting, sculpture, photography and literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was deeply influenced by the California Light and Space school, the photographs of Minor White and Duane Michals and the paintings of Ad Reinhardt and Agnes Martin. He later traveled extensively throughout Europe, studying the great master painters of the renaissance and working as an assistant for a number of well-known fashion photographers.

At the same time he went deeply into his own art practice moving past the borders of image based photography with the Shiva portfolio in 1998, Earth Sutras 1998 and subsequently the Gates of Heaven series in 2000. 

He later transitioned into a more conceptually based practice with For the Love Of,  in 2002, a large installation exploring blood, faith and cosmological influence and One Hundred Days, 2004. In 2008, 2009 and 2010 Scott produced a number of significant works in a more global framework, projects on the edge of the great oceans, such as The Pilgrim Suite, and moving into video projects such as Siren, and The Center of the World.

He currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. His works continue to weave the deeply human experience, nature and a rich spiritual context. New works such as 10,000 Years, Cathedral, While You were Sleeping, and the new video installation and print series, The Stations, 2015 continue that focus.
