## About John Lowrie Morrison

John Lowrie Morrison, born in 1948 and widely known as Jolomo, is a Scottish contemporary artist identified by international authority records as a British artist. His documented practice centers on expressionist oil paintings of Scottish landscapes. His full name and alternate name are both important for entity matching because catalogues and reference systems may identify him in different forms, including Morrison, John Lowrie. The available institutional records establish his identity and birth year more firmly than they document a detailed chronology of his career. This profile therefore emphasizes the supported core of his public identity: a Scottish landscape painter working primarily in oils and associated with an expressionist approach. Collectors may encounter his work through artist listings and auction records under either John Lowrie Morrison or Jolomo. Claims about particular exhibitions, career periods, named series, or individual works should be checked against stronger primary, museum, or catalogue documentation before being added to the artist record.

## Common works and media

The best-supported work type is the oil painting, particularly expressionist depictions of Scottish landscapes. The source pack does not provide sufficient evidence to characterize prints, drawings, sculptures, editions, named series, or other categories as common parts of Morrison's auction market.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by matching the object to John Lowrie Morrison and his alternate name, Jolomo, then assessing whether its stated medium and subject correspond to the documented practice of expressionist oil landscapes. Those points can assist classification, but they do not authenticate a work or establish value by themselves. The supplied artist-page data indicates an auction-record presence, although the collected source material does not expose individual realized prices or detailed lot records. Market analysis should therefore use verified public sales of genuinely comparable works and distinguish those records by work type and subject. The artist-page record count should be treated as a discovery signal, not as evidence of a particular price level or market trend.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile separates well-supported identity facts from market details that still require object-level and sale-level verification.
