Lehmann Maupin London presents ‘My time here is brief’, an exhibition of new paintings by Freya Douglas-Morris. In these works, the artist develops a sequence of imagined landscapes shaped by memory and seasonal change. The paintings move from one scene to the next with subtle shifts in light and color, treating landscape as an emotional register rather than a fixed site.

Working in layered applications of opaque pigment, washes, and textured detail, Douglas-Morris builds luminous surfaces that balance structure and atmosphere. In ‘Rush of autumn’ (2026), trees in saturated orange edged with fluorescent pink stand against natural greens, heightening the tension between observation and invention.

‘Olive grove’ (2026) introduces elongated, cathedral-like forms aligned with a mountainous horizon beneath a deep violet sky. Her largest canvas to date, ‘We went on a walk to celebrate, the land stretched on unending’ (2026), arranges rolling hills and a reflective lake in bands of shifting color, where moonlight and dusk tones bind the composition.
