Oysters In My Pocket
‘This piece is titled after the song that accompanied me throughout its making. This work was created by applying different levels of silicone to acrylic paint. The silicone encourages the different layers of paint to reject each other causing the unusual pattern. This pattern is then accentuated by applying heat using a blowtorch.’ The frame is included in this price.
Acrylic on canvas framed with a white tray frame.

The Artist
Maddy Morgan
Maddy Morgan is a self-taught artist based in London. She studied Maths at Newcastle University, alongside a year abroad at the University of Hong Kong, where she focused on History of Art and Gender Studies.
Maddy currently manages Arty Corner Gallery in Wimbledon while simultaneously developing her own artistic practice. Having painted and drawn from a young age, she began taking on private commissions at 18. In recent years, she has moved away from commission-based work to focus on developing her own collections.
Working predominantly in oils, Maddy creates textured paintings using palette knives. Her work is shaped by a fascination with the slower rhythms and everyday pleasures of European life. Her recent café scenes takes inspiration from the Italian expression il dolce far niente translating to “the sweetness of doing nothing” - capturing unhurried moments of conversation, coffee and food.
Through her paintings, Maddy hopes to celebrate the beauty found in ordinary moments and create work for those who appreciate a slower pace of life.
