Artist Statement

I firmly believe that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. My attraction to the larger female form is the primary inspiration for my artwork. Sexually and maternally I see the full-figured woman as femininity magnified, this is something I strive to relay visually.

My goal is very simple, like most other artists it is to reach the pinnacle of artistic expression. In doing so, I can only hope that society may one day truly appreciate my vision.

Bio

Nigel Morgan was born in San Juan on the Caribbean Island of Trinidad in 1971.  It was a countryside setting that undoubtedly fostered a love for nature and more than likely provided the impetus and subject matter of his earliest works.  Drawing started as early as he could remember, painting started at age seven and his love for art has only intensified since.

At eighteen, he moved to New York City, where he studied illustration at Pratt Institute.  After college he tested the waters at several art-related jobs, though interesting it was an arena that placed limits on personal artistic expression.  Not wanting to become a drone of that world, he realized that the time had come for a change.  Over the past couple of years his passion for creativity has been rekindled and now burns stronger than ever.

Nigel has identified the subject that truly reflect the purpose of his talent.  His subject of choice if full-figured women and after viewing the passion that he puts into each piece of his works, I can only say ........" Finally! an artist that portrays us (larger women) in all our dimensions of beauty."  Thank you!

My Poster (a true story)

I must have been no older than nine, I remembered my aunt saying she needed me to create a poster for an event that my uncle was having.  Amongst other things the poster was supposed to depict a somewhat scantily clad woman dancing, "no problem" I thought. I had just completed the drawing of the woman and was about to seek my aunt's approval, took one last look and thought to myself ......something doesn't look right....I tried my best to erase the lines and then I made another drawing, only to be disappointed again.  I repeated this over and over, erasing old lines, drawing new ones and each time creating a more expanded version of the previous image.

Finally I was satisfied and called my aunt to take a look.  She viewed it and smiled, she then called my uncle, they made eye contact, then grinned.  I giggled too (nervously).  I believed they had just discovered something about me, not that I had artistic talent (that was discovered some time ago) but rather, "He must like big girls"  At nine years of age this was definitely an embarrassing moment but in retrospect it was a moment in time that defined to me the physical attributes of the ideal woman.
