“I often stand in a forest and think how old the trees are, imagining the scenes they have witnessed. I find it interesting to think about the feet that have walked the path beneath my own, the journeys that others have taken.” –Freya Douglas-Morris

Lehmann Maupin London is pleased to present My time here is brief, an exhibition of new paintings by British artist Freya Douglas-Morris and her first since joining the gallery’s program in January. In her newest works, which will inaugurate the gallery’s 2026 program at Frieze’s No.9 Cork Street, Douglas-Morris depicts a series of ethereal landscapes in which memory itself becomes the subject. The exhibition flows from one painting to the next like a visual phrase, emulating the familiar patterns of nature—from the changing of seasons to the rhythms of day and night. My time here is brief considers how a place is emotionally experienced on both a personal and shared level. In spring 2027, Douglas-Morris will have concurrent solo exhibitions in New York with Lehmann Maupin and Alexander Berggruen, who co-represent the artist in the US.

Portrait of Freya Douglas-Morris

Freya Douglas-Morris (b. 1980, London, United Kingdom; lives and works in London, United Kingdom) is a British artist known for her vividly colored landscapes that depict rich flora, glowing skies, and serene waters and shorelines. Using a bright, Fauvist color palette, the artist renders imagined scenes inspired by life and her long, meditative walks through nature. Her striking application of oil on canvas—ranging from bold swaths of color, to highly detailed foliage painting, to sheer washes that create a watercolor effect—contributes to the surreal, ethereal quality of her scenes. Rather than recreating physical landscapes, Douglas-Morris often depicts internal terrain, open to her viewers’ own journeys, experiences, relationships, and memories. In visualizing the emotional or personal experience of a place, the artist’s work occupies a universal space, reminding us of our connection to the natural world and to the inner worlds we carry within.

Douglas-Morris studied Fine Art at Brighton University before receiving an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2013. In 2012, her work was included in the Liverpool Biennial. Her work has also been featured in several museum exhibitions, including the Saatchi Gallery in London, UK, and the Dallas Contemporary Museum in Dallas, TX. In 2024, the Dallas Museum of Art acquired a work for its permanent collection. The artist lives and works in London.
