Alice was born in London, she currently lives and works in Berlin. She holds an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art, London and a BA in painting from the University of Brighton. She is part of Phaidon's latest drawing edition; Vitamin D3, Today's Best in Contemporary Drawing (2021) and had her first solo institutional exhibition in Germany at MEWO Kunsthalle, Memmingen, curated by Lorenzo Graf (2022). Morey has exhibited internationally and has led projects at Saatchi Gallery, Camden Arts Centre, Tate Britain, Kunsthaus Bethanien. She is currently represented by Lehmann + Silva gallery, Porto.

Morey often works collaboratively and sees that as an integral part of her working practice. She is the founder of alternative art residency, CountdownGrabowsee, Heilstätte Grabowsee (2012-present).

In her experiment-based practice, Morey problematises how materials, plants, microorganisms and other non-human entities are commodified. Her paintings, installations and performances appear as processual attempts to establish a symbiotic and non-violent relationship with our environs. Fragility, healing and aggression characterise these relational and contradictory attempts at coexistence with non-human entities. Her work often deals with the fundamental processes of painting and suggests an alternative way, one where painterly means are set into a biological life cycle and beyond sterile fixation.

-Lorenzo Graf

Working with painting, sculpture and textile to build delicate installations, within the often chaotic space of wilderness, as a concept, Alice brings to the fore the haptic qualities of things—their smell, their taste, their touch. In order to re-make signifiers around certain problematic categories—such as the feminine or the end of life—Morey creates a cosmology where substances stand by themselves and affect us, as though we are just one small element among many in the environment.
