The Morph Group Statement

Formed in 2003, Morph is a Derby based group of contemporary semi-professional and professional artists, most of whom are graduates of the University of Derby.

Morph has previously successfully exhibited in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.

The word "Morph" emerged during the first exhibition held at Conkers National Visitors Centre, near swadlincote.

Morph implies the many aspects of the group's growth and represents the creative dynamics of the metamorphosis of ongoing changes and development.

A primary objective of the group is to take modern and contemporary art to a wider audience by showing work in non-gallery as well as conventional gallery spaces. The works include paintings, drawings, sculpture, glass, textiles, installations and printmaking.

We also aim to provide a forum for the artistic development of our members and to collaborate by sharing ideas, skills and opportunities.
