ARTIST STATEMENT
Tyreek Morrison (b. 1993, New Brunswick, NJ) is an Atlanta-based collage artist whose practice transforms scraps of paper and found materials into layered narratives. For Morrison, collage is both medium and metaphor—the fragments mirror the scraps that society has historically left Black men and women to piece together, and through them he reconstructs stories of resilience, culture, and memory.
His work moves fluidly between the past and the present. Earlier histories appear like interludes in an album, grounding his visual storytelling, while his contemporary narratives speak directly to the world we live in today. By weaving these timelines together, Morrison seeks to bridge generational gaps and highlight the continuity of struggle, joy, and creativity across time.
Raised in Atlanta by a family immersed in art and culture, Morrison absorbed influences from fashion, music, and skateboarding, but it is through collage that his voice resonates most clearly. Each work carries texture and rhythm, inviting viewers to reflect not only on his personal journey but also on the shared cultural memory his art revives and reimagines.
