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

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, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Denver, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Norton Collection, Santa Monica, and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London. 

Paul Morrison lives and works in Yorkshire, UK.
