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.

Sabine - Original Three-Dimensional Wall Art
By Atticus Adams
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Atticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of contemporary art, illustrating the creation of beauty, meaning, and emotional impact from industrial materials. Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows, and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks. This 57-inch high by 50-inch wide by 8-inch deep metal sculpture is a lightweight form created from aluminum mesh, gesso, acrylic paint, and wire. It has metal rings affixed on the back which allows for easy installation. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in his mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened-in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art. “Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional . . . The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.” A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams are held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
