Paul Morrison was born in 1966 in Liverpool, UK. He obtained his BA in Fine Art at the Sheffield City Polytechnic, Sheffield. He then attended Goldsmiths College, London for a PG DIP in Fine Art, an MA in Fine Art and a PhD Program.

Paul Morrison is internationally renowned for his bold graphic-style monochrome paintings, site-specific wall paintings, sculptures and films. His work is constructed from a wide array of disparate found imagery scanned into a computer and then modified before being realised in different formats. About these dramatic scale shifts and uncanny juxtapositions Paul Morrison says: ‘I’m interested in cognitive landscape, the terrain that one sees, somewhere behind the eyes’.

Paul Morrison's works are included in major public and private collections, including the British Council collection, London; Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard; Government Art Collection, London; RISD Museum, Rhode Island School of Design; Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Denver; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Norton Collection, Santa Monica; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London. 

Paul Morrison lives and works in Yorkshire, UK.
