Brisson Art Gallery Acquires New Work

Merrimack – In a small ceremony held on Friday morning inside Brisson Field in Merrimack, The Brisson Art Gallery unveiled a new piece recently donated by artist Chuck Morgan. Entitled “The Owl”, the contemporary piece will be permanently displayed in the main gallery. Painted in the early 70’s, it has been in Mr. Morgan’s personal collection for over 30 years.

With a pristine composition, the cerebral work flows with thick paint strokes radiating form a focal point and sets a sober tone while commenting on the strength and frailty of life. The viewer either cast themselves as the bird itself, or someone looking at the subject, both orientations evoke raw emotion.

Morgan, a progressive Avant-Garde master, is know for his plush, exocentric lifestyle and quotable personality “I was just going to throw it away… Sure, you can have it.”

The Gallery is thrilled to have the work in it’s possession and will proudly display it for years to come.

I have been playing Cadaco All Star Baseball since before I knew what numbers were! ... After creating hundreds of discs, several original designs for stadiums and helping to brainstorm goofy additions to the game, I would LOVE to hear what YOU are doing with the game. My hope is to build a long lasting web community with a growing set of cool online ASB features!
