About
"Earth Veins" is a large scale acrylic painting, applied using the ancient Japanese marbling technique of Suminagashi.
This technique uses large water baths in which the paint is floated upon, the cotton pulled up through the water, creating the marbled washed effect that gives Shannon Alexander Murphy's paintings his signature look.
Before making it's way to Thomgallery in Byron Bay, the piece was part of an exhibition which hung in The Natural History Museum of Berlin.
Shannon Alexander Murphy is an Australian artist residing in Berlin.
His large scale works are inspired by the Japanese tradition of Suminagashi, an ancient technique of marbling that originated in the 12th century.
Murphy’s underwater paintings apply the chance effect of “floating ink” in a swimming pool of water to create marbled patterns on large-scale canvases.
The unique and highly visceral process of this method raises important questions regarding artistic authorship and the agency of matter, and how a non-anthropocentric relationship to the natural elements can be embraced through artistic practice.
After a year marked by a record-breaking number of floods and natural disasters, this project forms a timely manifestation of an environmental sensibility that proves both politically urgent and artistically compelling. In his strong sensibility toward nature and natural phenomena, Murphy’s work represents and expands on a strong tradition within Australia’s artistic legacy, by which it has attained an important global voice in the defence of environmental sustainability and innovation.
