A self-taught multi media artist, Zach Murray designs 2D digital collages, scenes, animations and music videos. His main themes of interest are science fantasy, surrealism and afro-centric fantasy. Treating it like I would a sport; prepare, practice, perform. Like an athlete.

Exhibition Notes


My work can be best described as science fantasy artwork. They are based off loose, playful ideas that are often thought of AFTER the creation is finished. I do this so that I can achieve a creating process that darts around like lightning trying to find earth. This means I embark on unexpected challenges and forced to problem-solve.

Although the difference is stark, this aesthetic was inspired by Indian Miniature paintings, especially in the compositions that include some form of patterned frame on the outside.

Pieces like these represent "photographs" taken by people who travel through alternative, fantastical worlds and want to capture what they saw, so they can share it with you - otherwise it wouldn't be believable as just a story.

By construction, these are digital collages. However, because I like consistency in pieces, object and elements must be manipulated - which is why this does not look like a typical collage. I also want objects I can't find or afford to buy, so inserting 3D elements is a necessity. Finally, choice over the main subject or model is powerful, so I worked with photographer Ante [https://ante.pb.gallery] (please add link to name) to capture people who can play these 'characters' like the being in this piece.

Each piece, including this one is created with display in mind. Until large digital screens are affordable, NFTs are limited to wallets a mobile devices for most people. I'm creating so that if/when digital screens are accessible, my work can be enjoyed; and until then, prints are sent to collectors for free.
