'I Even got Scared Once or Twice' is Ivo Morrison’s first solo exhibition in the UK.

Born in 1990, Morrison is a self-taught artist. Although normally based in London, he painted the work for this show in Texas. Working predominately in ink, his primary ambition is to tell stories in his pictures. The lack of narrative in contemporary painting both confuses and upsets Morrison, and is consequently an issue he strives to address throughout his work.

This exhibition is the artist’s most autobiographical to date. It focuses on the theme of loneliness, or more explicitly how hiding in one’s imagination is the only way to escape the mundane despair of modern existence.
