Biografía
United Kingdom
Johnny Morant is a contemporary figurative artist. He was born in Hong Kong and grew up in South West England.
 
After attending art school in Bristol and Bournemouth, he moved to London where his new surroundings had a strong impact on his work. In this densely populated urban setting Morant is steadily making a name for himself as an accomplished painter of the built environment and the people within it.
Working primarily in oil, his evolving process explores the deconstructive analysis of traditional themes, such as legacy and impact. His recent collection Allegories of the past, present and future explores humanity’s capacity to meet challenges and face up to its future. Morant notes that “playing on the border between clarity and suggestion, my work prioritises the intuitive application of paint with the aim of capturing the viscosity of light and insecurity of form”.
 
Johnny Morant has had multiple successful solo exhibitions in London, including that at the Saatchi Gallery for the duration of the START Art fair in 2021. His works have been included in many collections, including Smith & Williamson, Standard Chartered Bank, Prudential plc and Old Mutual plc. He currently lives and works at his studio in West London.
