Arbor Art Gallery
“Evolution – Classical to Sgraffito”
Collection of works by artist Morgan Raines
Morgan was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida where he started drawing and painting at age eight. He's shown his artwork continuously over his 50-year career, gaining recognition through art shows and sales. Themes from nature continue to be the primary subjects of his paintings. He believes nature cannot be improved upon, only depicted artistically in his own style.
This collection shows an evolution of his works - starting with his classical style and progressing to sgraffito style. Morgan's sgraffito painting technique involves building multiple layers of acrylic paint in various colors, then scraping portions away to produce richly glowing and seductively textured pieces.
He and his wife now reside in the Peoria, IL area.
His work can be found showcased at KCW's Arbor Gallery.
