Bruce Murphy
The Space Between Chaos and Order (Colorful Abstract Painting, Metallic Powders)

2016

About the Item

enamel paint and metallic powders on archival paper mounted on board, framed colorful abstract painting, bright colors, green gold orange pink blue, metallic powders, horizontal abstract painting, gestural brush stroke, gestural painting, mounted on paper with no glass, gold tinted frame 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.
