Exhibitions — Morgan Tipping Work

'Wherever I Lay my Hat' (2014) Wells Way Pop-Up

University of Bedfordshire Residency exhibition: 'On a hiding to nothing', 5 basketballs, painted, 2015.

Working with found, recycled and re-worked materials, the paintings and sculpture featured in this exhibition relate to and investigate ideas of masculinity within our contemporary consumerist context. . 'On a Hiding to nothing' is comprised of 5 basketballs reworked to form an animal hide. The surface texture of the balls make a visual and literal pun on the idea of a skin and connote ideas of sporting prowess and hunting. The five paintings derive their titles from song lyrics and feature candy- coloured phallic creatures that move in an interweaving dance as though they are searching for something. That thing is love! The 70's colours and aesthetic harks back to a time of free love and exploration. Morgan Tipping is currently teaching in a college for boys and works with young men to challenge homophobia and promote sexual and emotional security by deconstructing stereotypes.
