Disproportionate and fantastical figures are created to suffuse any possibility of a mundane visual experience: their muscles ripple and bulge to an almost nauseating extent. The figurative paintings exude a powerful kinetic energy, while the landscapes show a contrasting sensibility and skilled use of line.

“My work often borrows from classical art, philosophy, mythology. I set together contemporary, mythical and autobiographical symbols and make a pathetic and humorous attempt to relate my mundane and fleeting experience to the glorious spectacle of ancient myths. Male figures reminiscent of contemporary body builders take on the role of Hercules, Apollo,  Zeus  etc. and question the grandiose meaning that myth and folklore give to life.” He says of his protagonists that they are “freaks sculpted by the desires of contemporary culture who wander within the space between narcissism and a state of becoming”. I find that the artwork of Amadeo Morelos is not in any way ‘freakish’ but instead gorgeously, astutely envisions our collective, pathetic, funny, beautiful, failed attempts to mimic the perceived perfection of those whom we mythologize.” Susanna J Coffey
