About the Item

Tides Out (Abstract Painting in Green, Blue, Orange and Metallic Gold), 2019 by Bruce Murphy 38 x 42 inches, unframed, enamel paint and metallic powders on archival paper Signed, verso This gestural abstract expressionistic painting on canvas was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Bruce Murphy. The painting was created with multiple layers of colorful enamel paint in bright colors over metallic powders. The sides are painted so framing is optional. There is wire on the back for easy hanging. About the work: Texas native Bruce Murphy brings us 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, who cites Pierre Bonnard as a major influence, 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.

Oct. 2020. 36 x 36 x 1.5 inches. Unframed Acrylic Painting-Ready to hang-sides will be painted a Greenish tone to match the painting. (16 layers) Gallery Wrapped Cotton Canvas. Textured/Layered Abstract Painting. Painted with palette knives. I added several layers of primer before adding my main layers. I have used 2 Blue hues and 2 Green hues as the main colors for this painting. Then I started to focus on the abstract lines & patterns I wanted to create. I decided to create some whimsical abstract strokes which gave me more ideas to use on this painting. I have used additional colors such as Red, 2 shades of Orange, Gold, and a Teal Blue as the additional whimsical abstract accent color lines and patterns. There are small touches of Gold in the Teal section of the painting. There are small details that are hard to pick up with my photographs. The painting can be hung 4 different directions - so there is 2 Vertical hangings and 2 Horizontal hangings. Felt pads included on backside corners. Signed on the backside and Certificate of Authenticity included with the painting 1/1. ***PLEASE note: Lighting will make a huge difference in the mood of this painting-as with any painting.
