To realize his shimmering abstractions, the Rhinebeck-based painter Bruce Murphy unites highly energetic gestures with a color palette that is dynamic, but not without subtlety. With titles that point to Murphy’s sources of inspiration – namely nature and the metaphysical – his paintings are made with unconventional media and industrial applicators; accordingly, Murphy’s is a genuinely singular body of work. This painting, "Absorbed in Brilliance," exemplifies Murphy's penchant for bold color and use of unconventional painting methods. Colors have been scraped across the surface, blending into one another and creating intense lines of force throughout the picture. The painting is framed in thin, sleek wooden frame.
About the artist: In a new series of paintings by Bruce Murphy one experiences constantly shifting patterns of energies that capture the ineffable sensation of an infinite void. Murphy loves color, particularly subtle shades of pastel that shimmer in changing light. Metallic powders give golden and silver highlights to intuitive mark markings that move across an ethereal field of color. While non-representational in subject, his work is rooted in the sublime influences of nature and have titles that suggest existential musings. A native of Texas, 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.
