Bruce Murphy loves color, particularly vibrant jewel tones that shimmer in changing light. Metallic powders give golden highlights to intuitive markings that move across an ethereal field of color. While non-representational in subject, his work is rooted in the sublime influences of nature and have titles that suggest existential musings. A native of Texas, 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.
The artist uses a combination of enamel paint and metallic powders to create a surface that reflects the light differently depending on where it hangs. The abstract painting, made in a style similar to Gerhard Richter, is created with multiple layers of enamel paint that are burnished in the final stages to reveal interesting color combinations. One can see the artist made expressive and gestural strokes with a palette knife to unearth layers of jewel toned enamel paint under the surface of gold and silver metallic powders.
The painting on paper wraps around the edges of the panel so framing is optional. If you prefer to have it framed, then we are happy to offer suggestions so it can be framed before it's shipped. Typically, we pair a thin metal floater frame with this artist's work. It comes in a variety of finishes so you can choose which you like best!
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 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.
