Freya Douglas-Morris: My time here is brief

Lehmann Maupin London presents 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.

Douglas-Morris is known for her landscapes that depict rich flora, glowing skies, and serene waters and shorelines. Her work sits within a lineage of modern and contemporary painters who employ landscape as a psychological and emotional space rather than a descriptive one.
