Burton Morris
ICONS IN BLOOM
Opening Reception:
March 21st | 7:00–10:00 PM
RSVP Required
For more than three decades, Burton Morris has done something deceptively simple: he has taken the objects of everyday life and made them unforgettable.
The rose. The popcorn box. The perfume bottle.
With bold black outlines, kinetic energy, and an unmistakable optimism, Morris has built one of the most recognizable visual languages in contemporary Pop Art.
Now, ICONS IN BLOOM marks a new chapter in his celebrated career.
This highly anticipated exhibition carries forward the iconic imagery audiences know and love, while expanding Morris’s vocabulary in ways that feel both inevitable and surprising.
For the first time, Morris weaves multiple series together within a single exhibition. Some works stand alone in their full graphic intensity, radiating color and movement. Others are layered, superimposed compositions in which familiar motifs intersect and converse across the canvas. These visual dialogues create a richer, more immersive world than Morris has ever presented.
The result is a dynamic evolution—one that reopens the icon itself.
“This exhibition is about reopening the icon. Letting the image breathe through layers, variation, and energy. It’s the most expressive body of work I’ve shown in Los Angeles.”
— Burton Morris
At its core, ICONS IN BLOOM is an invitation to look again at the images you thought you knew—and to discover what they have become.
