This is particularly fitting since Mr. Morley has lived and worked on Long Island for almost 30 years.
Mr. Morley’s work in this particular exhibit (titled “Malcom Morley: Painting, Paper, Process”) includes almost 50 works of Mr. Morley’s art covering roughly the last 30 years of his work. This exhibit is heavily influenced by Mr. Morley’s memories of growing up in wartime Britain and going through the Blitz.
