Pard Morrison

Colorado-based Pard Morrison is a modern day geometric abstractionist with work that is a cross between painting and sculpture. His large-scale work features blocks of color configured in a way that gives each piece an illusion of greater dimensionality. The box-like forms are created by the pieces extending from the wall by 3-1/4″ giving each piece a sculptural feel.

He also makes freestanding sculptures:
