Bruce Murphy
Adult Object #10 (Square Abstract Rust Colored Painting on Sheet Metal)

2012

About the Item

enamel paint on sheet metal with metallic powders. 20 x 20 x 2 inches Painting on sheet metal wraps around on all sides, creates a box like profile of approx. 2 inches. Ready to hang as is, no frame needed Sleek and contemporary in appearance, the glossy and textured surface of this painting seems to glow when lit. Very warm tones, the palette is an organic mix of rust colors, green, and orange. About the work: Texas native Bruce Murphy will exhibit a new series of paintings using his preferred materials of enamel paint and various metallic powders. Over the years, we have seen Murphy’s abstract color compositions take on characteristics of landscapes where horizon lines distinctly separate land from sky in minimalist blocks of color. In the new work, Murphy introduces a grid work of straight, measured lines that pierce through the expansive color schemes with the implied specificity of an Agnes Martin. Diaphanous clouds of color are layered within veils of gold and silver metallic powders. A true master of this medium, the artist’s deft application results in a suavely knitted fabric of shimmering light that not only reflects but also emits from, through and behind the nebula of color. Murphy invents a universe on a two dimensional plane where his marks and incisions become points in the cosmos. Bruce Murphy obtained a BFA in painting from the Parson’s School of Design in New York City. After a long career in graphic design, he now lives in Rhinecliff, NY and devotes himself full-time to his art.
