Brendan Murphy Sculptures

b. 1971

Brendan Murphy is a widely known contemporary artist whose works are found in prominent private collections and galleries around the world. Since his early career, Murphy has blended abstract and figurative forms to reveal meaning with deeper contemplation through his sculpture and painting.

Murphy believes it is in art’s potential that we can most universally transmit positive energy. He recognizes the effect this energy, when experienced as a collective, can have on society as a whole. His commitment to process and to true craftsmanship is the unifying thread throughout his body of work.

Murphy currently works from his home-based studios in Malibu, CA, and Miami, FL. His work is represented in over 600 private collections and his new works are commonly featured at art fairs around the world through his gallery representation in the USA, Canada, Germany, Colombia, England and Monaco.

The sculptural work of Brendan Murphy communicates a rare perspective on the modern human experience through explorations of form, color, language and universal symbols. Thematically, Murphy explores the interplay of beauty, power and the need to understand the source of all the energies of life.

The inspirations for the work — formulas, equations, relationships — create a pictorial spectrum of human emotion and the unifying natures of shared humanity. Through the layering of these emblems, Murphy’s painted works boldly portray careful imagery and density of the human experience, exposing the deep natural beauty that surfaces in this fragile balance.

Ram's Head Contemporary Plaster Sculpture with Green Patina Ancient Rome Style
Located in Firenze, IT
This contemporary plaster sculpture of a ram’s head is inspired by the art of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece with a reference to Neoclassicism and Neoclassical period old masters, when the discoveries of archaeological sites became the focal point in art history between the 18th and 19th century. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art featuring a majestic appearance due to its large curling ridged horns. This animal figurative work of art is sculpted on the round, the artist took inspiration both from his imagination and archaic reminiscences. He modeled the inert chalk creating an animal with very real facial expression and incredible realistic features with intricate detailed head. This sculpture is the plaster cast hand modeled by the artist that served him as a reference model to create a bronze sculpture with the lost wax technique, also the bronze version is on sale on my page. So it represents the first phase of a fascinating and long process of creating sculptural art, a studio piece made as a maquette before a bronze version was cast. The present aries' head sculpture has been painted to simulate the green patina that archaeological metal sculptures take over the centuries. Two green patina sculptures...
